cornu

Gestational choriocarcinoma arising from a cornual ectopic pregnancy: a case report and review of the literature.

(4) Maternal factors associated with breech presentation include nulliparity, multiparity, previous breech birth, contracted maternal pelvis, uterine anomalies, use of anticonvulsant drugs, placenta previa, and cornual placenta.

During this procedure, the uterus was separated from bilateral cornual regions and adnexae were left.

Objective: To demonstrate the outcome of intralesional management and show the safety of local treatment of cornual pregnancy.

Ovarian ectopic in 8% of the cases, isthmic pregnancies in 8% of the cases and cornual pregnancy was seen in 4% of the cases.

intramuscularly, restrained in lateral recumbency, keeping affected horn upward followed by cornual nerve block and local infiltration around the base of horn with 2% Lignocaine hydrochloride.

It should be noted that the majority of fallopian tube cancers arise in the fimbriated end of the tube, and cornual tubal malignancies are fairly uncommon.

The findings of cornual obstruction on hysterosalpingogram can be due to several reasons including tubal spasm, mucus plugs, debris, or true cornual blockage [1,3].

Pregnancies implanting in this site are defined as interstitial or cornual [1].

As CT has greater sensitivity for contrast it better visualizes the contrast filled tubes without the problems of overlapping or obscuration of tubes by peritoneal spill or inadequate opacification due to reflex cornual spasm as in HSG (10, 11).

(1) In the literature, terms such as "cornual," "interstitial," and "angular" pregnancies are used incoherently.

Interstitial, or cornual, ectopic pregnancies are clinically important to recognize because they are associated with higher morbidity and mortality compared to other ectopic pregnancy sites.
