Abstract

This report describes the management of a patient who developed two consecutive cornual ectopic pregnancies in a year preceded by two tubal ectopics on the same side. Interstitial pregnancy is a rare form of ectopic pregnancy with a significant mortality rate. It provides a challenge for clinicians both in their diagnosis and management. As yet, the incidence of recurrent cornual ectopic pregnancies is unknown. Currently conservative medical and surgical methods of management are favoured due to good outcomes and fewer risks. However, these methods do not protect against recurrence. In this report, we discuss the various methods of management described in literature.
