Abstract
Cornual pregnancy is a rare and hazardous form of ectopic pregnancy that causes massive hemorrhage and death. Presented herein is a 38-year-old female patient who was brought to our Emergency Department at 30 + 6 weeks of gestation for abdominal pain and hypotension due to uterine rupture, as a result of left cornual pregnancy. Here, the confusion of cornual pregnancy with normal intrauterine pregnancy and its associated catastrophic complications of uterine rupture and fetal demise are highlighted. This case report demonstrates the importance for an emergency physician to maintain the suspicion of ectopic pregnancy even at advanced gestational age.
