Cornual pregnancy is a severe form of ectopic pregnancy, comprising 2-4% of such cases and presenting a mortality rate 6-7 times higher than typical ectopic pregnancies. It is often confused with interstitial pregnancy which arises from the implantation of the gestational sac in the myometrium’s proximal part. Diagnosis and treatment are challenging and considered medical emergencies due to potential for significant maternal haemorrhage. This is a case report of a 26-year-old woman in hypovolemic shock due to a ruptured ectopic pregnancy, confirmed via ultrasound and treated with emergency laparotomy, revealing a left corneal ectopic pregnancy, which was successfully repaired.
