Abstract
Ectopic twin pregnancy is rare. Most frequently it occurs as a heterotopic pregnancy located simultaneously in the the fallopian tube and in the uteru s. An unusual case of an intact unilateral ectopic twin pregnancy in the 7t h week of gestation was diagnosed at this early stage by TVS (transvaginal ultrasound). The patient was successfully treated by laparoscopic salpingec tomy. A review of the current literature is discussed.
