- Abstract
Cornual pregnancy refers to the situation in which the gestational sac is situated at the level of the uterine horn in the condition of a normal or pathological constitution of the uterine body. In such cases an abnormal implantation of the gestational sac will conduct once the pregnancy increases, a significant risk of uterine rupture, cataclysmic hemorrhage and even maternal death. Therefore, in such situations, surgery should be taken in consideration. The aim of the current paper is to report the case of a 39 year old patient diagnosed with cornual pregnancy in which conservative surgery and fertility preservation were successfully performed.
