BACKGROUND Naturally occurring heterotopic pregnancy is rare. A surviving intrauterine pregnancy associated with a ruptured tubal pregnancy is extremely unusual. METHODS This is the first reported case of a patient presenting in hemorrhagic shock due to a ruptured tubal pregnancy that was associated with an ongoing intrauterine pregnancy complicated by fetal holoprosencephaly. CONCLUSIONS Delays in diagnosis and treatment of heterotopic pregnancies may adversely affect maternal health as well as the outcome of the intrauterine pregnancy. Prenatal screening and/or diagnostic studies are necessary to evaluate the intrauterine pregnancy.
