Summary A case of combined intrauterine and extrauterine pregnancy is reported. The initial diagnosis was that of threatened abortion at the eighth week of pregnancy. Signs of an acute surgical disturbance in the pelvis necessitated laparotomy 3 weeks later. A right tubal ectopic pregnancy was excised and the intrauterine pregnancy was terminated at the 37th week by Caesarean section for placenta praevia.
