Abstract :

<p>&nbsp;Ectopic pregnancy in the interstitial part of the fallopian tube is a rare event, constituting only 2&ndash;4 % of all tubal ectopic pregnancies and is associated with a high rate of complications. While all ectopic pregnancies are associated with a risk of hemorrhage, interstitial pregnancies are associated with the highest risk of massive, uncontrollable bleeding. There is a higher risk of maternal mortality due to delayed diagnosis and high vascularity of the myometrium. It presents a challenge for clinical as well as radiological diagnosis. We are reporting a case wherepresented with interstitial pregnancy in late first trimester. The need for clinical suspicion and role of ultrasonography, resuscitation and laparotomy is necessary to prevent catastrophe.</p>
