Interstitial pregnancy, a rare ectopic pregnancy, presents diagnostic and treatment challenges. Management includes methotrexate for stable patients and surgery for unstable or advanced cases, with ongoing research into optimal protocols.

Area of Science:

  • Reproductive Medicine
  • Gynecologic Surgery
  • Maternal-Fetal Medicine

Context:

  • Interstitial pregnancy is a rare but high-risk ectopic pregnancy.
  • Diagnosis can be challenging, and treatment guidelines are lacking.
  • The incidence of interstitial pregnancy appears to be increasing.

Purpose:

  • To present the experience in managing interstitial pregnancy.
  • To discuss diagnostic and treatment modalities for this rare condition.
  • To evaluate the outcomes of different treatment regimens.

Summary:

  • Six cases of interstitial pregnancy were managed between August 2005 and September 2006.
  • Treatments included methotrexate (2 patients) and initial surgery (4 patients).
  • Methotrexate is suitable for stable patients without rupture; surgery is indicated for unstable patients, rupture, advanced gestation, or those desiring no future fertility.
