SUCCESSFUL MANAGEMENT OF A CORNUAL PREGNANCY WITH UTERINE ARTERY EMBOLIZATION

Dr. V. Sumathy, Dr. Shilpa Reddy, S. Padmanaban

Abstract :

Interstitial/Cornual ectopic pregnancy is a rare condition of pregnancy and may be very dangerous if not identified and treated urgently. We report a case of successful treatment of an interstitial pregnancy using selective uterine artery embolization. A 27–year–old woman with interstitial pregnancy was treated by uterine artery embolization after failure of systemic methotrexate treatment. Her serum beta–human chorionic gonadotropin (β–hCG) was undetectable 10 weeks after the therapeutic embolization and transvaginal sonography 3 months after embolization showed normal endometrium and cornu. The patient achieved a normal pregnancy one year after embolization.
