Ipsilateral Interstitial Ectopic Pregnancy in a Patient with Previous Total Salpingo-Oophorectomy: A Case Report

Abstract

Ectopic pregnancy (EP) is a life-threatening condition in pregnancy. EP after partial or total salpingectomy on the same side is rare; the mechanism of this condition is not clear. However, three hypotheses have been reported. We present a case of interstitial EP in a woman who underwent ipsilateral total salpingo-oophorectomy for endometriosis 3 years ago. The current issue highlights that total salpingectomy does not exclude ipsilateral interstitial EP. Therefore, clinicians should be aware of this diagnosis to prevent catastrophic consequences.
