“…In 1997, Luckas et al. 18 described the pregnancy with the furthest gestational age at diagnosis, being 30 weeks. The patient, carrying a triplet pregnancy, presented at 30 weeks with right-sided abdominal pain and signs of peritonism.…”

Management and outcome of heterotopic interstitial pregnancy: Case report and review of literature

The majority of cases are diagnosed by detailed ultrasound in the setting of early follow-up after IVF-ET and are asymptomatic at diagnosis. Yet, a substantial number of patients present with cornual rupture. Risk factors are IVF-ET and a history of salpingectomy. Depending on clinical presentation, treatment options include watchful waiting, medical treatment, or surgery. Unfortunately, the interstitial pregnancy is generally lost, and only has a chance of survival in case of presentation at a viable gestational age. The outcome of the coexisting intrauterine pregnancy is generally good.

“…FGR was observed in 3 of the 10 cases (30%). 8,13,14 We hypothesize that the placental abnormalities in patients with interstitial pregnancy may be associated with FGR, and propose a possible explanation for the relationship between interstitial pregnancy and FGR. The eccentric position of the gestational sac and abnormal placentation may cause uteroplacental insufficiency, potentially leading to FGR.…”

“…[5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14] We were able to obtain detailed information for these patients, as shown in ►Table 1. All patients underwent cesarean section for obstetrical indications, including uterine rupture in 4 of the 10 patients (40%), 5,7,8,10 malpresentation in 3, 6,11,12 and previous cesarean section in 2 patients. 9,14 A prenatal diagnosis was established in one patient, 13 and an elective cesarean section was performed.…”

Interstitial Pregnancy Resulting in a Viable Infant Coexistent with Massive Perivillous Fibrin Deposition: A Case Report and Literature Review

Objective The objective of this report is to describe a rare case of interstitial pregnancy ultimately resulting in a viable infant coexistent with massive perivillous fibrin deposition (MPFD). Study Design This study is a case report and literature review. Results A 35-year-old female patient underwent cesarean section at 32 weeks of gestation due to fetal growth restriction (FGR) and breech presentation. During the operation, a diagnosis of interstitial pregnancy was established. There was no evidence of placental separation. We decided to complete surgery without removal of the placenta and waited until the placenta delivered spontaneously. The conservative management was successful, and the patient was discharged on postoperative day 13. The pathologic examination showed MPFD. Conclusion If interstitial pregnancies are not diagnosed at an early gestational age, it can result in a viable fetus, but such pregnancies may be associated with FGR or placenta accreta.

“…Simultaneous corneal and intrauterine pregnancies are rare, with an incidence of approximately 0.003% in a natural ovulation cycle 1 . However, the frequency is increasing with the spread of assisted reproduction technology (ART) 2 . About 0.15%–1% of all ART pregnancies are reported to be simultaneous intra‐uterine and ectopic pregnancy, and the incidence of heterotopic pregnancy after in‐vitro fertilization‐embryo transfer (IVF‐ET) is 0.8%–2.9% 3,4 .…”

A patient became pregnant by in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF‐ET). She had a history of laparoscopic bilateral salpingectomy and enucleation of a left ovarian tumor due to bilateral hydrosalpinx and left endometriotic cyst in primary infertility. She noticed abdominal pain and visited the nearby general hospital by ambulance (gestational age 6 weeks and 1 day). She was admitted to our department because of ascites. An abdominal hemorrhage due to a rupture of the residual corneal segment of the fallopian tube was suspected and emergency laparoscopic surgery was performed. Simultaneous internal and external pregnancy resulted in rupture of the right tubal corneal at the ectopic site of pregnancy. The baby in the uterus grew smoothly and was delivered by cesarean section. This is a report of a case in which live birth after rupture of uterine cornua in simultaneous corneal and intrauterine pregnancies. We searched the literature for similar cases and examined management methods.
