Interstitial Pregnancy: Results Generated From the Society of Reproductive Surgeons Registry

Abstract

Ipsilateral salpingectomy, previous ectopic pregnancy, and in vitro fertilization are predisposing factors for interstitial pregnancy. Contrary to previous belief, rupture of interstitial pregnancy occurs relatively early in pregnancy. In selected patients, laparoscopic cornual excision is a viable treatment option.

About a Case of Failure of Medical Treatment of an Interstitial Pregnancy

“…Risk factors are similar to other ectopic pregnancies (history of ectopic pregnancy, pathology and tubal surgery, intra-uterine dystylbene exposure, genital infections, tobacco, in vitro fertilization) except for ipsilateral salpingectomy which is a specific risk factor to interstitial pregnancy (Tulandi and Al-Jaroudi, 2004), in our patient alone contraception by micro progestative was found as risk factor for ectopic pregnancy.…”

Analysis of ectopic pregnancy at a tertiary care hospital: one year study

“…Since there was excessive bleeding, laparotomy was performed and reconstruction of uterine musculature done in two layer after removing the gestational sac. According to Tulandi et al 12 the incidence of interstitial ectopic pregnancy is 1-3% of all ectopic pregnancies.…”

Diagnostic surprises in early pregnancy: two case reports

“…Pregnancies implanted in this site are called interstitial (cornual) pregnancies. 7 The eccentric position of the gestational sac and thinning of the myometrial layer means that preoperative ultrasound differentiation between eccentric intrauterine and cornual pregnancy is always difficult. With the availability of better resolution transvaginal ultrasound facilities, rate of diagnosis can be improved using three criteria: 8,9 1.…”
