Abstract
Background: Angular pregnancy is a rare event and is a commonly missed diagnosis in the antepartum period. Data regarding the optimal mode of delivery and management of the placenta are limited.
Case description: A patient in her 30s, gravida 3, para 1 presented at 37 weeks with severe range blood pressure and was admitted for induction of labour due to preeclampsia. Her labour course and delivery of the neonate were uncomplicated. Despite attempts at manual extraction and suction dilation and curettage, the placenta was unable to be removed. Ultrasound revealed the placenta in the right cornua, suspicious for angular pregnancy. She was taken to the operating room for exploratory laparotomy and hysterotomy for extraction of the placenta. She had an uncomplicated postpartum course and was discharged home on postpartum day 4.
Conclusion: In patients with suspected angular pregnancy, exploratory laparotomy and hysterotomy may be required for placental removal.
