A cornual ectopic pregnancy is a relatively uncommon and particularly perilous form of ectopic pregnancy that unfolds in the cornua, or horns, of the uterus. These cornua are the uppermost corners of the uterus, where the fallopian tubes meet the uterine cavity.
Comprising only about 2% of all ectopic pregnancies, cornual ectopic pregnancies are the most treacherous variety, posing a significant threat of rupture and life-threatening hemorrhaging.
