This condition poses a substantial risk to maternal health due to delayed diagnosis and the potential for life-threatening bleeding after rupture.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Case presentation:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We present a case report following the SCARE guidelines that details a 32-year-old woman with abdominal pain and abnormal uterine bleeding. Clinical examination, \u03b2-HCG levels, and endovaginal ultrasound confirmed the presence of a 4 cm unruptured right cornual pregnancy. The patient underwent a minilaparotomy, which revealed the ectopic pregnancy, followed by a successful cornuostomy and right salpingectomy. Postoperative recovery was uneventful.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Clinical discussion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Cornual pregnancy, comprising around 2 % of ectopic pregnancies, is associated with increased risks of rupture and maternal morbidity. Major risk factors include a history of pregnancy termination, miscarriage, STIs, and smoking. Diagnosis is often delayed, leading to an increased risk of bleeding. Pelvic pain is a common presenting symptom, and sonographic findings aid in accurate diagnosis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Cornual pregnancy, though rare, represents a serious condition with a significant risk of maternal morbidity and mortality. A timely diagnosis is crucial for effective treatment, with ultrasound playing a pivotal role, complemented by the essential contribution of laparoscopy. This case underscores the importance of prompt intervention to mitigate the associated risks and improve patient outcomes.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Highlights<\/jats:title>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijscr.2024.109364","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,2,8]],"date-time":"2024-02-08T12:47:01Z","timestamp":1707396421000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Cornual pregnancy as a rare entity of ectopic pregnancy: A case report"],"prefix":"10.1097","volume":"116","author":[{"given":"Dhekra","family":"Toumi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Gynecology, Monastir University Hospital, Monastir, Tunisia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Malek","family":"Medemagh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Gynecology, Monastir University Hospital, Monastir, Tunisia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ines","family":"Zouari","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Gynecology, Monastir University Hospital, Monastir, Tunisia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Imen","family":"Ghaddab","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Gynecology, Monastir University Hospital, Monastir, Tunisia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mohamed Ali","family":"Chaouch","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Visceral and Digestive, Monastir University Hospital, Monastir, Tunisia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Raja","family":"Faleh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Gynecology, Monastir University Hospital, Monastir, Tunisia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"276","reference":[{"issue":"4","key":"R1-50-20260326","first-page":"394","article-title":"Grossesse extra-ut\u00e9rine \u00e0 Madagascar: 107 observations","volume":"22","author":"Randriambololona,","year":"2012","journal-title":"Med.
