Her labour course and delivery of the neonate were uncomplicated. Despite attempts at manual extraction and suction dilation and curettage, the placenta was unable to be removed. Ultrasound revealed the placenta in the right cornua, suspicious for angular pregnancy. She was taken to the operating room for exploratory laparotomy and hysterotomy for extraction of the placenta.
