  • Title: Blunt abdominal trauma with ruptured 16-week cornual ectopic pregnancy.
    Author: Vorhies RW, Waswick WA, Delmore JE, Dort JM, Shaw JW.
    Journal: Am Surg; 2004 Jun; 70(6):559-60. PubMed ID: 15212416.
    Abstract:
    Trauma is the leading cause of nonobstetric morbidity and mortality in pregnancy. Care of the pregnant trauma patient is well documented in the medical literature; however, little has been written about the management of trauma patients with ectopic or cornual pregnancy. Herein, we report the previously undocumented occurrence of a traumatic rupture of a cornual ectopic pregnancy. The use of trauma ultrasound, computerized tomography, as well as obstetrical evaluation prevented an imminent life-threatening complication of this patient's pregnancy.
