Abstract

Amaç: Tekrarlayan ektopik gebelik olgularında tanı, tedavi ve yönetim yaklaşımlarının önemini değerlendirmek.
Gereç ve Yöntem: Bu çalışmada, sol tubal ektopik gebelik ve ardından sol salpenjektomi öyküsü olan ve sağ tubal ektopik gebelik nedeni ile başvuran 31 yaşında bir kadının yönetimi sunulmaktadır. Kontraendikasyon olmaması nedeni ile metotreksat (MTX) tedavisi başlandı. MTX’in ilk gününde hastanın serum βhCG düzeyi 5135,64 U/L idi ancak yükselmeye devam etti. Daha sonra hastaya ikinci doz MTX uygulandı. İkinci MTX dozunun dördüncü gününde serum βhCG düzeyi 8333,98 U/L iken ikinci MTX dozunun beşinci gününde βhCG düzeyi dramatik bir şekilde 6819,35 U/L’ye düştü. İkinci doz MTX tedavisinden 22 gün sonra serum βhCG düzeyi 848.76 U/L idi. Transvajinal ultrasonda ektopik kitlede azalma görüldü.
Sonuç: Tubal ektopik gebeliklerin erken tanısı tıbbi müdahale yoluyla başarılı bir şekilde yönetilebilir ve bu da yüksek başarı oranı gösterir.

Abstract

Objective: To assess the significance of diagnosis, treatment, and management approaches in cases of recurrent ectopic pregnancies.
Material and Method: This study presents the management of a 31-year-old woman with a history of left tubal pregnancy and subsequent left salpingectomy, who presented with a right tubal ectopic pregnancy. Methotrexate (MTX) treatment was initiated due to the absence of contraindications. On the first day of MTX, the patient’s serum βhCG level was 5135.64 U/L, but it continued to rise. Subsequently, the patient received a second dose of MTX. On the fourth day of the second MTX dose, the serum βhCG level was 8333.98 U/L, while on the fifth day of the second MTX dose, the βhCG level dropped dramatically to 6819.35 U/L. Twenty-two days after the second dose of MTX treatment, the serum βhCG level was 848.76 U/L. Transvaginal ultrasound revealed a decrease in the ectopic mass.
Conclusion: Early diagnosis of tubal ectopic pregnancies can be effectively managed through medical intervention, demonstrating a high success rate.
