摘要：
Background: Interstitial and cornual ectopic pregnancy is rare, accounting for 2–4% of ectopic pregnancies and remains the most difficult type of ectopic pregnancy to diagnose due to low sensitivity and specificity of symptoms and imaging. The classic triad of ectopic pregnancy—abdominal pain, amenorrhea and vaginal bleeding—occurs in less than 40% of patients. The site of implantation in the intrauterine portion of fallopian tube and invasion through the uterine wall make this pregnancy difficult to differentiate from an intrauterine pregnancy on ultrasound. The high mortality in this type of pregnancy is partially due to delay in diagnosis as well as the speed of hemorrhage. Methods: Three cases of interstitial pregnancy were retrospectively analyzed. Result: Successful laparoscopic cornuostomy and removal of products of conception were performed in two cases, while one case was successfully managed by local injection with KCL and methotrexate followed by systemic methotrexate. Conclusion: Early diagnosis and timely management are key to the management of interstitial and cornual ectopic pregnancy. With expertise in ultrasound imaging and advances in laparoscopic skills progressively, conservative medical and surgical measures are being used to treat interstitial and cornual ectopic pregnancy successfully. © 2017, Federation of Obstetric & Gynecological Societies of India.
