Unilateral twin interstitial ectopic pregnancy. Report of a case. 1977

L B Twiggs, and P G Stumpf, and V Davajan

An unusual case of twin unilateral interstitial pregnancy is described. On admission the patient was thought to have an intrauterine pregnancy of 14 weeks' gestation. Because of an irregularity in the right cornual region of the uterus, a culdocentesis was performed which returned unclotted blood. Because of this finding the patient underwent laparoscopy which revealed an unruptured right cornual pregnancy. An early diagnosis before rupture allowed for conservative surgical management and uterine conservation.
