# Foetal Reduction in a Cornual Heterotopic Pregnancy With Potassium Chloride Administration

## TL;DR

This paper presents a case of a rare heterotopic pregnancy managed by preserving the intrauterine pregnancy and using potassium chloride for the ectopic pregnancy.

## Contribution

The paper introduces a specific case management approach using potassium chloride for ectopic pregnancy in a heterotopic scenario.

## Key findings

- A heterotopic pregnancy was successfully managed with potassium chloride administration.
- The intrauterine pregnancy was preserved during the procedure.
- The case highlights the potential of KCl as a management option for ectopic pregnancies.

## 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.
