Résumé

Interstitial heterotopic pregnancy (IHP), an exceedingly rare and clinically intricate phenomenon, presents a diagnosis that challenges healthcare providers in obstetric care. This case report provides valuable insights into the complexities of diagnosing and managing IHPs, shedding light on the pivotal role of early and precise identification. Through a meticulous examination of a 28-year-old patient's clinical history and diagnostic journey, this report underscores the significance of advanced imaging techniques and swift decision making, ultimately leading to the accurate diagnosis of an IHP. Furthermore, it highlights the life-saving importance of cornuostomy as a safe and effective intervention, preserving the intrauterine pregnancy while successfully resolving the ectopic gestation. This case report serves as a compelling reminder of the critical need for timely diagnosis and individualized treatment in cases of IHPs, ultimately enhancing the understanding and management of this rare obstetric condition.
