The authors present the results of a study carried out over a period of 10 years reffering to the diagnostic and treatment of angular pregnancy in the second Clinic of Obstetrics and Gynecology from Craiova. The authors emphasize the small incidence of angular pregnancy. Usually, the suspicion of angular pregnancy was determined by the impossibility of complete evacuation of the uterine cavity by uterine curettage. Most of the cases necessitated surgical intervention that consisted usually in the resection of the uterine horn or subtotal hysterectomy. A long period of time was necessary until the patients were able to continue her work. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
