A Novel Approach to Management of Angular Pregnancies: A Case Series

Abstract

Cornual, interstitial, and angular pregnancies are terms that are often used interchangeably in both the literature and clinical setting to describe various ectopic pregnancies. The diagnosis of these pregnancies can be difficult, and fear of disrupting an intrauterine pregnancy can cause hesitation during evaluation and management. In our 2 cases, a combination of transvaginal and 3-dimensional ultrasound images provided assistance in the accurate diagnosis of angular ectopic pregnancies. Traditional management of these pregnancies includes a wedge resection for pregnancy resolution. In this set of 2 cases, we describe a unique surgical approach to resolve these pregnancies using operative hysteroscopy.
