There are limited U.S. reports of spontaneous triplet heterotopic pregnancies discussing both maternal and fetal outcomes. A 34-year-old patient at 7 weeks of gestation presented to the emergency department with abdominal pain. She was diagnosed with a spontaneous heterotopic triplet pregnancy, consisting of a twin monochorionic-diamniotic intrauterine gestation and a ruptured left ectopic pregnancy. She underwent a laparoscopic unilateral salpingectomy. Her antepartum course was complicated by gestational diabetes mellitus and fetal growth restriction. Delivery of liveborn twins was via a cesarean delivery at 32 weeks. Timely intervention and management of a ruptured spontaneous triplet heterotopic pregnancy can result in a viable twin delivery with overall favorable maternal and newborn outcomes, although long-term implications due to prematurity and other twin sequelae exist.
