The interstitial portion of the fallopian tube corresponds to the proximal segment incorporated into the uterine
muscle wall (0.7×1.5 cm). A pregnancy implanted at this site is called an interstitial pregnancy (Tulandi, 2013).
When it is located in a rudimentary horn of a bicorne uterus or in the remaining stump of a trunk treated with
salpingectomy, it is called corneal pregnancy. Interstitial pregnancy is located outside the round ligament as
opposed to the angular pregnancy within (
Bouyer et al., 2002
). Ectopic pregnancies: interstitial, angular
(developed in the tubal ostium at the bottom of the uterine cavity) and cornual localization is often grouped
together and represent the same clinical and therapeutic entity (
Bouyer et al., 2002
).
