This study highlights two critical cases of ruptured interstitial pregnancy, a rare and life-threatening condition. Early recognition and prompt surgical intervention are crucial for managing this obstetric emergency.

Area of Science:

  • Obstetrics and Gynecology
  • Surgical Case Reports

Background:

  • Interstitial pregnancy, a rare form of ectopic pregnancy, occurs within the interstitial portion of the fallopian tube.
  • Unrecognized or delayed diagnosis can lead to catastrophic hemorrhage and maternal mortality.

Observation:

  • Two cases of ruptured interstitial pregnancy are presented.
  • Case 1: A 32-year-old woman presented with abdominal colics at 17 weeks gestation, developing collapse and hypotension requiring emergency laparotomy.
  • Case 2: A 35-year-old woman with a history of adnexectomy presented with signs of shock, revealing a ruptured interstitial pregnancy during relaparotomy.

Findings:

  • Both patients experienced severe intra-abdominal hemorrhage (hematoperitoneum) due to ruptured interstitial pregnancies.
  • Surgical management involved laparotomy/relaparotomy, resuscitation, and hysterectomy in both cases.

  • The second case also revealed adhesions and a pancreatic neoplasm, adding complexity to the surgical management.

    • Implications:

    • These cases underscore the importance of high clinical suspicion for interstitial pregnancy, especially in patients with risk factors.
    • Prompt diagnosis and surgical intervention are vital for improving maternal outcomes in this life-threatening condition.
    • The complexity of the second case highlights the potential for co-existing pathologies during emergency gynecological surgery.
