Interstitial pregnancies have a higher mortality than ectopics in general.
2.
In patients with an asymptomatic interstitial pregnancy methotrexate has been successfully used, however, this approach may fail and result in cornual rupture of the pregnancy.
3.
A common misdiagnosis is of a normal intrauterine pregnancy is where the pregnancy is implanted laterally in an arcuate uterus, potentially being misdiagnosed as an interstitial pregnancy.
4.
The definition of an ectopic pregnancy is a pregnancy outside of the uterine cavity, not outside of the uterus, as the interstitial pregnancy is still a uterine pregnancy.
5.
Mortality of a tubal pregnancy at the isthmus or within the uterus ( interstitial pregnancy ) is higher as there is increased vascularity that may result more likely in sudden major internal bleeding.
6.
An "'interstitial pregnancy "'is a uterine but ectopic pregnancy; the pregnancy is located outside of the uterine cavity in that part of the fallopian tube that penetrates the muscular layer of the uterus.
7.
Interstitial pregnancies can be confused with " angular pregnancies "; the latter, however, are located within the endometrial cavity in the corner where the tube connects; typically those pregnancies are viable although a high rate of miscarriage has been reported.
