Cornual (interstitial) ectopic pregnancy is an uncommon variant of ectopic pregnancy which often poses a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge with a significant risk of rupturing and bleeding. We present a ruptured right cornual pregnancy and explain how to deal with such a case laparoscopically.

Traditional treatment of interstitial pregnancy includes cornual resection or hysterectomy by laparotomy, but advanced minimally invasive surgery allows successful endoscopic management. We report a case where interstitial pregnancy was successfully diagnosed by ultrasound and treated by laparoscopy. Patient had an unremarkable postoperative course. This case demonstrates that a laparoscopic ap...

Objective: To evaluate cornual patency and integrity following laparoscopic cornuotomy. Study Design: This is a prospective cohort study on seven women who underwent laparoscopic cornuotomy for interstitial pregnancy. The cornual patency and integrity were evaluated using hysterosalpingography (HSG) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). On MRI, the entire cornual wall thickness was measured bil...

Cornual pregnancy often poses a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge, with a significant risk for morbidity and mortality. Traditional treatment for cornual pregnancy has been through laparotomy, wedge resection, or hysterectomy. Early diagnosis is now possible through transvaginal ultrasonography and highly-sensitive beta-human chorionic gonadotropin assays. Consequently, several less-invasive...

This is a report of a case of cornual ectopic pregnancy, with transvaginal ultrasonography done for early detection, screening, β-hCG measuring, also discussed was the role of methotrexate therapy prior to operative procedure with conservative management. Multiple intramural myomas (22 myomas) in this case were strongly believed as the etiology of the cornual pregnancy. (Med J Indones 2008; 18:...

Of ectopic pregnancies encountered in clinical practice, more than 95% are located within the fallopian tube, and 2% to 4% are cornual. A cornual ectopic pregnancy is a serious clinical condition and poses diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. Thus, understanding the clinical course and treatment options is essential. The authors describe the case of a 29-year-old woman who presented to the De...

Cornual pregnancy is a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge with potential severe consequences if uterine rupture occurs with following massive intraabdominal bleeding. We report a case of a misdiagnosed ruptured cornual pregnancy occurring at 21 weeks of gestation. Ultrasound examination and computer tomography revealed no sign of abnormal pregnancy. The correct diagnosis was first made at eme...
