A case of Intramural Pregnancy following currettage , treated with Laparoscopic exicision and MTX / 대한산부인과학회잡지

ABSTRACT

Intramural pregnancy is one of the rarest form of ectopic pregnancy that only 20 cases have been reported in the world so far. Pathologically, the location of the gestational sac is completely isolated from the uterine cavity and entirely surrounded by myometrium without any contact of endometrium. Many reports noted that there would be possible relationship between the intramural pregnancy and prior uterine traumatic factor- curettage, cesarean section, myomectomy, salpingectomy, and manual removal of the placenta and so on. We have recently experienced a case of intramural pregnancy following curettage, managed completely by the laparoscopic excision and additive single dose intramuscular MTX treatment. So, we report this case with a brief review of the literature.
