Introduction: Intramural pregnancy is a rare form of ectopic pregnancy; it is defined by a gestation within the uterine wall, completely surrounded by myometrium and separated from the uterine cavity and the fallopian tube. Preoperative diagnosis is difficult and hysterectomy may be required due to delay in diagnosis.
Case Report: We report a rare case of intramural ectopic pregnancy diagnosed by sonography and treated surgically.
Conclusion: Early detection of intramural ectopic pregnancy is needed to prevent complications like uterine rupture and helps preserve fertility.
Keywords: Ectopic pregnancy, Intramural, Ultrasonography
