초록

자궁외 임신은 자궁강내 내막 이외의 장소에 주머니배가 착상하는 것을 의미하며, 최근 조기 진단 및 치료의 가능성이 증가했지만, 여전히 주요한 모성 사망의 한 원인이다. 불임 환자의 경우 배란약제 사용 및 보조생식술과 연관되어 일반적인 경우에 비해 자궁외 임신 및 다태 임신, 동시 양측성 난관 임신 같은 복합성 자궁외 임신의 발생도 증가하고 있는데, 아직까지 전체 자궁외 임신 중 보조생식술 후 발생한 복합성 자궁외 임신이 차지하는 발생 비율에 대한 정확한 통계는 이루어 지지 않고 있으나 이러한 시술이 점차 늘고 있기 때문에 그 발생률도 증가할 것으로 생각된다. '자궁각 임신' (cornual pregnancy)은 자궁외 임신중 비교적 드문 경우로서, 흔히 '간질성 임신' (interstitial pregnancy)과 비슷한 의미로 사용된다. '간질성 임신'의 발생은 전체 자궁외 임신의 약 2~4% 정도에 해당하며, 간질성 임신으로 인한 모성 사망률은 전체 간질성 임신의 약 2~3% 정도에 달한다고 알려져 있다. 이는 전체 난관 임신으로 인한 사망률의 2배 정도에 해당하는 수치이다. 저자들은 체외수정 및 배아 이식술 후 좌측 난관과 우측 자궁각 부위에 임신이 된 복합성 자궁외 임신 1예를 경험하였기에 간단한 문헌 고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.

The incidence of ectopic pregnancy is increased since in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET) has started. And because of the possibility of combined pregnancy after IVF-ET, bilateral adnexal area and other portion of pelvis should be examined carefully by transvaginal ultrasonography during follow-up period. The rate of combined pregnancy after IVF is estimated to be as high as 0.2~1%. Since the incidence of combined pregnancies is markedly higher with IVF, special attention to this possibility after ET is warranted. According to a recent report, the occurrence of interstitial pregnancy is estimated to be 1:3600 for all pregnancies achieved with IVF. The prevalence of interstitial pregnancies is 2~4% of ectopic pregnancies. Interstitial pregnancies tend to be diagnosed later than most other ectopic pregnancies, and if uterine rupture occurs, the resulting hemorrhage can be severe. Currently, about 2% to 3% of interstitial pregnancies are thought to carry a maternal death, which is twice that of other tubal gestations. We report a case of simultaneous left tubal and right interstitial pregnancies after IVF-ET with a brief review of literature.
