CARACTERÍSTICAS DE LAS GESTANTES CON EDAD MATERNA AVANZADA EN UN INSTITUTO MATERNO PERUANO, 2022

Abstract

Interstitial ectopic pregnancy, misnamed cornual, is a rare pathology, but it implies a high morbidity and mortality if it is not
diagnosed and treated on time. We present the case of a one-year-old patient who attended the emergency room due to
pain, vaginal bleeding, and a 9-week period of amenorrhea. During the ultrasonographic evaluation, a gestational sac with
an active embryo was evidenced at the level of the right uterine horn, for which the diagnosis of cornual ectopic pregnancy
was considered and proceeding to perform an abdominal hysterectomy. The best knowledge of the natural history of the
disease, as well as an early and timely diagnosis, is the key to the conservative management of this disease.
