Abstract

An intramural ectopic pregnancy is one of the rarest types of ectopic pregnancy, and due to the scarcity of reported cases there are no clear guidelines regarding diagnosis and management of the condition. We report a case of a non-viable intramural ectopic pregnancy managed with intravenous methotrexate, in a patient with no previous pregnancies but a history of uterine cornual cyst excision. The patient subsequently developed a uterine arteriovenous malformation, which was embolised. Following this, she had two pregnancies, one culminating in an elective caesarean section at term, and the other a medical termination of pregnancy at 19 weeks of gestation. As a result of post-traumatic stress disorder attributed to this complicated history, the patient requested a hysterectomy. This case demonstrates the complexity of the management of intramural ectopic pregnancy and highlights the impacts the condition can have on a patient's physical and mental health.
