A Rare Case of Spontaneous Stump Ectopic Pregnancy after Adnexectomy

Abstract

Ectopic pregnancy is an obstetric emergency associated with morbidity. The commonest site for an ectopic pregnancy is the fallopian tube. Occurrence of ectopic in a remnant of tubal stump is a rare form which is not yet classified. Here we present a case of spontaneous stump ectopic pregnancy in a patient who had an adnexectomy. The ruptured remnant end was excised. There is a need to emphasise that the tube should be excised till the cornual end when performing salpingectomy to avoid recanalisation or fistulae formation and stump ectopics.
