Overview
Objective: A case report of a patient with interstitial pregnancy and a history of hyperprolactinemia. Case report: A 30-year-old woman was hospitalized for a suspicion of ectopic pregnancy and referred for laparoscopy. During the laparoscopic surgery, interstitial pregnancy was diagnosed and solved with cornuostomy. Conclusion: Ectopic interstitial pregnancy represents a serious worldwide issue because unrecognized, it can endanger a woman’s life, despite advances in ultrasound examination, the diagnosis often remains inaccurate. Laparoscopic surgical approach with evacuation of pregnancy with subsequent uterus suture represents one of the possible approaches. This method is minimally invasive and safe.
