ABSTRACT

The cornual pregnancy occurs in approximately 2-4 percent of ectopic pregnancies. Diagnostic criteria is an eccentrically located gestational sac more than 1 cm from the endometrial stripe and gestational sac surrounded by a thin layer of myometrium less than 5-8 mm. The management of interstitial pregnancy should pay much attention, based on a 2-fold increase of mortality. Non-surgical management by methotrexate is the first choice for unruptured IP and hemodynamically stable patients. Surgical management includes cornual resection and salpingectomy by laparoscopy or laparotomy. In this case, the patient had a ruptured cornual pregnancy which was managed by performing a cornual resection and salpingectomy by laparotomy without any complication.
