The discovery of a uterine diverticulum is a rare event. Diverticula can lead to outcomes including pelvic pain, ectopic pregnancy, and diverticula rupture and should be considered in cases of uterine cystic masses. We report a case of a 32-year-old G3P0030 with a complicated pregnancy and surgical history who presented to us following an abnormal laparoscopy for severe pelvic pain four years after salpingectomy for a tubal pregnancy. This laparoscopy reported a cornual uterine cystic structure. Saline infusion sonohysterography was performed with fluid filling a uterine cornual cystic mass. On hysteroscopy, no outpouching was identified. With chromopertubation on laparoscopy, methylene blue filled the diverticulum. The diverticulum was laparoscopically removed. Pathology examination was consistent with a diverticulum containing a placental implantation site and necrotic chorionic villi.

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.

Rationale: Horn pregnancy is a rare subtype of ectopic pregnancy that presents a diagnosis and treatment challenge due to its nonspecific symptoms and high risk of rupture.
Patient Concerns: A 32-year-old woman without vaginal pregnancy with history of right corner who presented with painless vaginal bleeding.
Diagnoses: A transvaginal ultrasound revealed a pregnancy sac implanted in the left corner of the uterus, confirming the diagnosis of a cornual pregnancy.

Research Question: What is the value of three-dimensional (3D) transvaginal ultrasonography (TVS) in the diagnosis and assessment of Asherman syndrome?
Design: This was a prospective study conducted at a hysteroscopy centre.
Results: A total of 685 participants were recruited, 65 dropped out and 620 were finally enrolled and analysed. The overall sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of 3D-TVS in the diagnosis of Asherman syndrome were 95.
