Abstract:
Cornual (interstitial) ectopic pregnancy, an uncommon variant of ectopic pregnancy often poses a diagnostic and therapeutic
challenge with a significant risk of rupturing and bleeding. Early diagnosis and treatment of interstitial ectopic pregnancy is
very crucial, as they carry a very high risk of morbidity associated with the rupture. If they continue without diagnosis, a life-
threatening situation may occur even when surgical intervention with laparotomy is performed. We present a case who reported
with lower abdominal pain and 2 months amenorrhea. The patient was diagnosed with a cornual ectopic pregnancy and managed
timely.
