摘要
Objective: The objective was to discuss a case of heterotopic cornual pregnancy managed with transvaginal embryo reduction. Methods: A 22-year-old woman with heterotopic cornual pregnancy was treated with ultrasonographically guided transvaginal injection of potassium chloride into the thorax of ectopic fetus. Results: Sixteen days after the procedure, the patient presented with pelvic pain and miscarriage ensued. Control examination 1 month and 3 months later revealed normal uterine cavity and partially resorbed ectopic material. Conclusion: This minimally invasive approach in a hemodynamically stable patient can be considered in the management of a first trimester heterotopic cornual pregnancy. However the patient must be informed for the risk of abortion related to the procedure. Nevertheless this approach can be a treatment option in cornual pregnancies without a simultaneous intrauterine gestation. © Springer-Verlag 2004.
