Abstract
An interstitial pregnancy is an uncommon type of ectopic pregnancy, accounting for 2-4% of all ectopic pregnancies. We present
a patient with history of ruptured interstitial pregnancy who had been managed successfully at our hospital. The patient had
refused tubectomy and conceived against medical advice within six months after laparotomy. She was counseled for risk of
rupture of uterus and admitted to the hospital at the beginning of 9th month. She underwent an elective cesarean section and
a male baby was delivered. Palpation of the uterine scar revealed that it was papery thin. Had there been any delay, the uterus
would have ruptured with resultant maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality.
