Interstitial ectopic pregnancy is rare (2%-4% of ectopic pregnancies). The atypical clinical presentation of interstitial ectopic pregnancy associated with massive vaginal bleeding is extremely rare and makes early preoperative diagnosis even more difficult. The presentation of our case concerns the early diagnosis and surgical treatment of a patient with an interstitial ectopic pregnancy without rupture, which presented atypically with painless, severe vaginal bleeding. A 27-year-old fourth-term pregnant woman presented with massive painless vaginal bleeding. Secondary amenorrhea was calculated at eight weeks and four days. Transvaginal ultrasound and transvaginal Doppler ultrasound combined with the quantification of beta-chorionic gonadotropin hormone raised the suspicion of interstitial ectopic pregnancy. Intraoperatively, the presence of a large swelling of the right horn of the uterus was established, and a wedge resection was performed with the removal of the corresponding fallopian tube. Three weeks after surgery, the serum beta-chorionic gonadotropin hormone value was zero. In this paper, the rarity of interstitial ectopic pregnancy, the difficulties related to early and correct preoperative diagnosis, and the selection of the appropriate available therapeutic procedures are emphasized, the correct application of which can significantly contribute to reducing the morbidity and mortality of these patients.
间质部异位妊娠较为罕见(占异位妊娠的2%-4%)。间质部异位妊娠伴有大量阴道出血的非典型临床表现极为罕见,这使得术前早期诊断更加困难。我们病例的呈现涉及一名无间质部异位妊娠破裂患者的早期诊断及手术治疗,该患者表现为无痛性严重阴道出血这一非典型症状。一名27岁的孕晚期妇女出现大量无痛性阴道出血。经计算,继发性闭经为8周零4天。经阴道超声和经阴道多普勒超声检查,结合β-绒毛膜促性腺激素的定量检测,引发了对间质部异位妊娠的怀疑。术中,确定子宫右角有一个大肿块,并进行了楔形切除术,同时切除了相应的输卵管。术后三周,血清β-绒毛膜促性腺激素值为零。本文强调了间质部异位妊娠的罕见性、术前早期正确诊断的困难以及合适可用治疗方法的选择,正确应用这些方法可显著有助于降低这些患者的发病率和死亡率。
