Abstract

Ectopic pregnancy (EP) is one of the leading causes of maternal mortality. Its frequency in Pakistan is 1:13 pregnancy.1 Tubal
ectopic often becomes symptomatic in first trimester by eroding the tubal wall and causing hemorrhage and shock. It is very
rare for an ectopic to progress into second trimester and remain asymptomatic2. We are reporting a rare case of tubal ectopic
pregnancy which ruptured at 16 weeks of gestation with non-viable fetus.
We report a case of 27-year-old female who presented to the emergency of Dr. Zia Uddin Hospital, North Nazimabad, Karachi,
with bleeding per vagina and abdominal pain with history of 4 months of amenorrhea. Ultrasound showed 16 weeks fetus in
abdomen without cardiac activity and severe hemoperitoneum. She was diagnosed as a case of non-viable, ruptured, tubal
ectopic pregnancy of 16-week gestational age.
Diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy in first trimester can avert rupture and potential mortality and morbidity. Very few cases of
second trimester ectopic pregnancy are reported. The purpose of this case report is to draw the attention for the potential of
such incidence in this region and prompt management of such situation
