Abstract
OBJECTIVE
The aim of this study is to report a case of intramyometrial gravidity after hysteroscopic resection of retained products of conception.
CASE REPORT
We report the case of a 35-year old woman who presented at 7 weeks gestation with abdominal pain in the right iliac fossa, having had caesaren section 6 months ago. She underwent hysteroscopic resection of retained products of conception 6 weeks after casesarean section. The woman was submitted to two-and three-dimensional transvaginal ultrasound. Sonography revealed intramural ectopic pregnancy. Subsequently, we decided to perform a laparoscopic artery occlusion and removal of pregnancy with adequate multiple layer closure of the myometrial defect.
CONCLUSION
Conservative laparoscopic surgery can be used successfully in patients with intramyometrial pregnancy. Even though the intramural pregnancy is a very rare type of ectopic pregnancy, it should be kept in mind by gynecologists because it can become a life-threatening condition. Early dia-gnosis helps to preserve future fertility.
