A case of ipsilateral cornual pregnancy after previous salpingectomy for tubal pregnancy / 대한산부인과학회지

ABSTRACT

Cornual pregnancy is a rare form of ectopic pregnancy and its diagnosis is difficult. Its incidence is 2-4% of all tubal pregnancies. Because greater vascularity and distensibility of implantation site lead to rupture at a later gestational age and cause the rapid intraperitoneal hemorrhage, cornual pregnancy causes serious maternal mortality and morbidity. Cornual pregnancy is relatively rare in the woman who has the history of ipsilateral salpingectomy. We have experienced a case of ipsilateral cornual pregnancy after previous salpingectomy in a 31-year-old woman and report this case with brief review of literature.
