15 Modern Management of Cornual Ectopic Pregnancy (original) (raw)

Cornual ectopic pregnancy, a rare but serious type of ectopic pregnancy, occurs when implantation happens in the intrauterine portion of the fallopian tube. Due to its challenging diagnosis and high risk of complications, including significant hemorrhage and mortality, immediate surgical intervention is required. Management strategies include traditional laparotomy and increasingly common laparoscopic techniques, alongside medical management with Methotrexate. The paper reviews current diagnostic tools such as transvaginal ultrasound and highlights the importance of understanding the anatomy and risk factors associated with cornual ectopic pregnancies.
