Abstract

Cornual pregnancy is a rare condition. Mortality and morbidity are directly correlated with the duration of diagnosis. A cornual pregnancy, when compared with other tubal pregnancies, tends to rupture later due to the greater distensibility of the myometrium. Interstitial pregnancy may lead to catastrophic hemorrhage and death because of advanced vascularity. Herein, we report two cases of cornual pregnancies. Case 1: A 25-year-old, gravida 1, para 0, abortus 0 woman was operated for acute abdomen. Abundant coagula and hemorrhage were seen. A ruptured left cornual pregnancy was determined. Both tubes and ovaries had normal appearance. Cornual excision procedure was carried out. Case 2: A 38-year-old, gravida 8, para 2, curettage 5, abortus 0 woman applied to the outpatient clinic with the complaint of delayed menstruation. Her history revealed an operation for ectopic pregnancy two years before. Transvaginal sonography revealed a normally appearing uterus, an empty uterine cavity and an ectopic pregnancy on the left cornual region with 20 mm crown rump length corresponding to 8w4d gestation with cardiac activity. Surgery was performed thereafter. An ectopic 4 cm mass on the right cornual region was confirmed. The right tube was absent; the left tube and each ovary were normal. Total abdominal hysterectomy procedure was performed, and the material was sent for pathological examination. In this paper, cornual pregnancy and treatment modalities are discussed.

Özet

Kornual ektopik gebelik nadir bir durumdur. Mortalite ve morbidite doğrudan tanısının koyulma süresi ile ilgilidir. Kornual gebelik, diğer tubal gebeliklerle karşılaştırıldığında miyometriyumun tubaya göre daha fazla distensible olması nedeniyle daha geç rüptüre olur. İnterstisyal ektopik gebelik artmış vaskülarite nedeniyle katastrofik hemoraji ve ölüme neden olabilir. Bu yazıda, iki adet kornual gebelik olgusu sunuldu. Olgu 1: Yirmi beş yaşında, gravida 1, para 0, abortus 0 olan hasta, akut karın nedeniyle ameliyata alındı. Ameliyat sırasında karın içerisinde bol miktarda koagulum ve hemorajik mayi görüldü. Rüptüre sol kornual ektopik gebelik izlendi. Her iki tuba ve over normal görünümde izlendi. Kornual eksizyon yapıldı. Olgu 2: Otuz sekiz yaşında, gravida 8, para 2, küretaj 5, abortus 0 olan hasta, 8 haftalık adet geçikmesi nedeniyle kliniğe başvurdu. Özgeçmişinde 2 yıl önce ektopik gebelikten ameliyat olduğu not edildi. Transvajinal ultrasonografide uterus normal görünümde, endometrial kavite boş sol kornual alanda CRL: 20 mm 8 hafta 4 gün fetal kalp aktivitesi olan gebelik belirlendi. Hasta ameliyata alındı. Ameliyatta uterus sağ kornual bölgede 4 cm çapında ektopik gebelik saptandı. Sol tuba izlenmedi. Sağ tuba ve bilateral overler doğal izlendi. Hastaya total abdominal histerektomi yapıldı. Patolojik incelemeye gönderildi. Bu yazıda, kornual gebelik ve tedavi seçenekleri irdelenmiştir.
