**7.3 Expectant management**

Cornual ectopics are associated with high risk of rupture that could occur as late as 10 – 16 weeks. . (Abraham D& Silkowski C, 2010).Rupture of a corneal ectopic at that late gestation can cause profuse intraperitoneal bleeding which can be life threading. The Confidential Enquiry into Maternal and Child Health (CEMACH) report for 2000–02 confirmed that 4 out of 11 deaths due to ectopic pregnancies (36%) were corneal ectopics. (Confidential Enquiry into Maternal and Child Health, 2004)

Therefore, expectant management has no place in confirmed cornual ectopic.( Kok-Min S et al, 2004)
