Ectopic pregnancy is a life threatening condition and mostly ectopic pregnancies occurs in fallopian tube. The most common site of ectopic tubal pregnancy is ampulla. Ectopic pregnancy is a complication of pregnancy and usually easy to diagnose by ultrasonography during the first trimester of pregnancy. Due to limited healthcare resources in developing countries, women do not undergo for ultrasound examination during pregnancy which leads to late diagnosis. In most of cases women with ectopic pregnancy are asymptomatic, unless ruptured. The mean gestational age for clinical presentation of ectopic pregnancy is 7.2 weeks after the last normal menstrual period. In rural population, late presentations of ectopic pregnancies are more commonly seen because of lack of modern diagnostic ability. Present case report is a rare case of non-viable, unruptured, tubal ampullary chronic ectopic pregnancy of 12 weeks gestational age. Keywords: Ectopic pregnancy, Unruptured, gestational age, ultrasonography.

Abstract Background The presence of the levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system embedded within an ectopic pregnancy is a rare occurrence. Tubal migration of an intrauterine device is not well understood and has not been extensively studied in literature. Case presentation A 34-year-old African woman, para 1, gravida 2, presented with symptoms of ruptured ectopic pregnancy. She underwent a laparoscopy where a ruptured left ectopic pregnancy was found with a levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system inserted 2 years prior embedded within the tube. A left salpingectomy was performed with removal of the levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system. The patient recovered well and proceeded to have an intrauterine pregnancy 3 months later. Conclusion Migration of the levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system into the fallopian tube is a rare occurrence that is not well understood. In the case presented, levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system was found embedded within the fimbrial end of the left fallopian tube, which had a ruptured ectopic pregnancy. Surgical treatment with laparoscopy is recommended for intraabdominal intrauterine device to prevent complications.
