Foetal Reduction in a Cornual Heterotopic Pregnancy With Potassium Chloride Administration

Heterotopic pregnancy is the simultaneous occurrence of an intrauterine pregnancy with an extrauterine pregnancy. Heterotopic pregnancies remain a diagnostic challenge, as many can be asymptomatic, or clinicians could be falsely reassured once an intrauterine pregnancy is sighted on an ultrasound. Given their rarity, there is also no global consensus on management guidelines. In this study, we illustrate a case of a heterotopic pregnancy with preservation of the intrauterine pregnancy and management of the ectopic pregnancy with potassium chloride (KCl) administration.

Abstract

Heterotopic pregnancy is the simultaneous occurrence of an intrauterine pregnancy with an extrauterine pregnancy. Heterotopic pregnancies remain a diagnostic challenge, as many can be asymptomatic, or clinicians could be falsely reassured once an intrauterine pregnancy is sighted on an ultrasound. Given their rarity, there is also no global consensus on management guidelines. In this study, we illustrate a case of a heterotopic pregnancy with preservation of the intrauterine pregnancy and management of the ectopic pregnancy with potassium chloride (KCl) administration.
