- Abstract
- Corunal or interstitial pregnancy is very rare and its diagnosis is difficult. It accounts for no more than 2% to 4% of all tubal pregnancy. As ruptured is likely to occur between the end of the second and the end of the fourth month, it causes serious maternal mortality and morbidity. If the contralateral tube is patent, history of ipsilateral salpingectomy may be risk factor for interstitial pregnancy. A 37-year-old woman had laparoscopic right salpingectomy due to tubal pregnancy. One year later she experienced a second ruptured interstitial pregnancy on the same side.
