title: [Ruptured angular pregnancy in the 16th week. Apropos of a case].
abstract: Angular pregnancies which result from implantation of the fertilised oocyte in the mucosa of a uterine horn are very rare. They are usually demonstrated by a picture of rupture which is associated with severe abdominal pain, the syndrome of internal haemorrhage, often a state of shock and all occurring usually between the 6th and the 12th week of pregnancy. Although many authors have shown that there is congenital abnormality of the uterus in these cases this does not always happen and the aetiology of "idiopathic angular pregnancies" is ill understood. The treatment is carried out according to the clinical state: endometrial curettage under laparoscopic control, removal of the uterine horn together with the tube on the same side or even hysterectomy.
