Abstract
The cornual pregnancy is a rare entity that represents almost 2% of ectopic pregnancies. Factors influencing the occurrence of interstitial twin pregnancy specifically have not been elucidated, and the true incidence is unknown because of the rarity of this condition. We report the first case diagnosed in our department. A 46 years multigravida female, gravida: 6, para: 4, presented to our clinic with the complaint of an acute lower painful abdomen at nine weeks of gestation. The current spontaneous pregnancy is estimated at nine weeks of amenorrhea (WA). The beta-HCG rate was 29000 UI/ml. The patient consulted the emergency of the maternity and neonatal center of Tunis with the complaint of an acute lower painful abdomen. An emergency laparotomy was performed under general anesthesia. In the exploration: no hemoperitoneum, a right cornual pregnancy of 3 cm, the pathology report confirmed the diagnosis of tubal twin pregnancies, the cornual pregnancy, although rare, is an unusual ectopic pregnancy, with a very grave prognosis and should be diagnosed at an early stage.
