ABSTRACT

This article presents a clinical report of a cornual ectopic pregnancy as well as a five-year restrospective review of ectopic gestations at Hospital General de Matamoros Dr. Alfredo Pumarejo L, Tamaulipas, Mexico. The list with histopatological reports was checked up from January 2001 to May 2006. There were 66 results, of which only 31 files were complete. The presentation ages in these patients were between 16 and 39 years old, with a media of 25.6 years old and a mode of 21 years. The circumstances why patients attended to the hospital were: transvaginal bleeding and abdominal pain in 14 cases (45.1%), abdominal pain only in 12 cases (38.7%), and transvaginal bleeding only in five cases (16.2%). The clinical presentation was acute in 19 patients (61.3%), and it was insidious in 12 (38.7%). All women presented menstrual delay. Diagnoses were done by clinical findings in 12 women (38.7%), by clinical findings and ultrasonography in 18 (58.1%), and due to clinical findings and culdocentesis in just one patient (3.2%). Ectopic pregnancy was located in different places on each patient, such as: ampula, 24 cases (77.5%); isthmus, four patients (12.8%); fimbria, one case (3.2%); ovary, one woman (3.2%), and cornual in one patient (3.2%). Twenty-seven cases of broken ectopic pregnancies (87%), were found as transoperative findings, and the other four (13%) were not broken ectopic. There were not demises. Cornual ectopic pregnancy represents 1.5% of the ectopic gestations, as it is reported in the literature.
