Cornual Pregnancy and its Management: A Case Report.

ABSTRACT

Ectopic gestation can be present at various parts of the tube; the most common site being the ampulla. If it occurs in the interstitial region, it is called cornual gestation. 2-4% of ectopic gestation can be in the cornual region. Management depends upon the time at diagnosis. Early cornual gestation can be managed medically while advanced cornual gestation needs surgery that may range from conservative to radical depending upon clinical presentation. Th e mortality rate due to rupture of a cornual pregnancy can range from 2 to 2.5% if not managed promptly. Th e high mortality rate is due to the presence of increased vascularity of the cornual region. A case report of a cornual pregnancy and its management is being presented.
