INTERSTITIAL ECTOPIC PREGNANCY-A REVIEW

Introduction:. Interstitial ectopic pregnancy, in which rupture occurs much later than other forms of pregnancy, is a rare phenomenon that occurs in 2% of ectopic pregnancies; delayed rupture is due to the expandability of myometrium. Methods: In this review article, the databases Medline, Cochrane, Science Direct, and Google Scholar were thoroughly searched to identify the Interstitial ectopic pregnancy. In this review, the papers published until early January 2017 that were conducted to study the Interstitial ectopic pregnancy were selected. Results: Although the golden standard method for the treatment of interstitial ectopic pregnancy is laparotomy, realized through removing cornea, it is sometimes necessary, due to hemostasis, to conduct hysterectomy, or hypo gastric artery legation. Discussion and conclusion: Pathology diagnosis is of paramount importance. On the other hand, the report of the mass of adnexa in ultrasound with high BHCG can indicate a re-EP that needs resection, but knowledge of pathology has left this vascular cavity free.
