Laparoscopic management of an intramural pregnancy.
Intramural pregnancy is one of the rarest forms of ectopic pregnancy, with only 16 cases reported thus far. The diagnosis is almost invariably retrospective after hysterectomy. I believe this is the first documented case of an intramural pregnancy diagnosed and managed by surgical laparoscopy.
