## TL;DR

This case report describes a rare pregnancy complication called angular pregnancy and its management through hysteroscopic evacuation.

## Contribution

The paper presents a rare clinical case of angular pregnancy and its management, contributing to the understanding of this under-recognized condition.

## Key findings

- Angular pregnancy can progress to term but is associated with high complication rates.
- Hysteroscopic evacuation was used as a management option after unsuccessful pregnancy.
- Distinguishing angular pregnancy from similar conditions is critical for appropriate care.

## Abstract

Angular pregnancy, a rare condition, marked by implantation positioned medially to the uterotubal junction within the lateral angle of the endometrial cavity poses a risk of severe complications, such as uterine rupture, placental retention, postpartum hemorrhage, and even necessitating hysterectomy, all of which can be fatal. Distinguishing angular pregnancy from other emergent conditions, particularly interstitial and cornual pregnancies, is crucial due to similar presentations and difference in embryo viability, risk, and management. While angular pregnancies can progress to term, they are associated with an elevated complication rate. Here, we present a case of primigravida with angular pregnancy who opted for evacuation under hysteroscopic guidance subsequent to unsuccessful pregnancy.
