Abstract
- Intramural pregnancy is one of the rarest forms of ectopic pregnancy. The pathologic diagnosis of the intramural ectopic pregnancy requires that the myometrium surrounds the products of conception separated from the endometrial cavity or fallopian tubes. Because the early diagnosis is very difficult, most cases are found after the onset of complications such as a uterine rupture or hemoperitoneum. The previous histories of curettage, cesarean section, myomectomy, salpingectomy and manual removal of the placenta are known as possible etiology of the intramural pregnancy. We have recently experienced a case of intramural pregnancy after 10 times of curettages and are reporting with a brief review of the literatures.
