Cornual pregnancy, a rare and life-threatening form of ectopic pregnancy, poses significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenges due to its deep implantation in the uterus. This report presents a case of a 31-year-old woman with a history of assisted reproductive technology (ART) and prior salpingectomy, who was diagnosed with a right cornual pregnancy following embryo transfer. The patient experienced lower abdominal pain and was found to have an enlarged uterus on ultrasonography.

Article Synopsis
  • - A rare case of right interstitial pregnancy occurred in a 32-year-old woman who had previously undergone a salpingo-oophorectomy, leading to an emergency room visit due to suspected ectopic pregnancy.
  • - After various diagnostic procedures, including ultrasound and hysteroscopy, the patient underwent a successful robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery to remove the interstitial pregnancy while preserving her fertility.
  • - The exact cause of this rare pregnancy is unclear, but it may involve fertilization in the intact tube and possible changes in the remaining tubal tissue that allowed the oocyte to implant.

A non-communicating rudimentary uterine horn is a Müllerian abnormality that manifests due to abnormal Müllerian duct development. This abnormality is associated with endometriosis, infertility, and pregnancy complications, including ectopic pregnancy, abnormal fetal presentation, abruption, increased fetal mortality and morbidity, preterm rupture of membranes, preterm birth, intrauterine growth restriction, and uterine rupture. If pregnancy does occur, there is a high risk of complications, most notably rupture of the rudimentary horn.
