Rare Site of Ectopic Pregnancy in a Patient with Bicornuate Uterus

Abstract EN

Ectopic pregnancy occurs in about 1-2% in normal cycles but in IVF cycles the rate jumps to 4%.

No definite cause for ectopic pregnancy was detected, but many risk factors were described as abnormal tube, pelvic infection, or surgery.

In this case report we found 2 abnormalities in eight-year infertile woman; the first abnormality was bicornuate uterus and the second abnormality was the site of ectopic pregnancy which was in between the two horns of uterus.

This is the only case reported with primary abdominal pregnancy with bicornuate uterus and both healthy ovaries and tubes. The case was unstable and managed by laparotomy and repair of ectopic site after enucleation of sac using Vicryl 2/0.

The case was discharged 24 hours after operation in good health.
