Placenta previa can be difficult to diagnose with transabdominal sonography during the third trimester of pregnancy, because of difficulties in imaging the cervix late in pregnancy. Although transperineal sonography offers an additional view of the cervix, its value in the diagnosis of placenta previa has not been studied. Accordingly, we performed transperineal sonography on 164 patients who h...

Placenta accreta is a severe complication of pregnancy normally diagnosed during the second trimester. Early detection could reduce risk hemorrhage abortion or miscarriage; however, guidelines on first-trimester diagnosis are lacking. We describe case placenta first trimester with its sonographic and histological features.

The incidence of ectopic pregnancy is approximately 1.3-2% of all pregnancies, and more than 90% of ectopic pregnancies are detected in the ampulla of the fallopian tube. Ectopic pregnancy occurring in tubal stump after tubectomy is extremely rare, and the frequency of tubal stump pregnancy is approximately 0.4% of all pregnancies. We report one of these rare cases of ectopic pregnancy in a 26-...

INTRODUCTION A 33-week abdominal pregnancy is an extremely rare type of ectopic pregnancy that is potentially life-threatening for the mother and fetus. Reports of using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the third-trimester abdominal pregnancy are very few. PATIENT CONCERNS A 24-year-old woman (gravida 2, para 1, living 0) at 33 weeks' gestation presented to local hospital complaining of va...

Ovarian ectopic pregnancy (OEP) accounts for <1% of pregnancies. Its underlying etiology is likely secondary to fertilized oocyte reflux ovary. The study represents left adnexa mass query ectopic. patient was successfully treated by exploratory laparotomy with intraoperative findings suggestive ovarian resection gestational sac and oopherotomy.

BACKGROUND Ectopic pregnancy is the leading cause of maternal morbidity and mortality during the first trimester and the incidence increases dramatically with assisted-reproductive technology (ART), occurring in approximately 1.5-2.1 % of patients undergoing in-vitro fertilization (IVF). Abdominal ectopic pregnancy is a rare yet clinically significant form of ectopic pregnancy due to potentiall...

Due to legal, ethical and monetary problems, drug studies in pregnancy are rare. Numerous pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic changes occur in pregnancy that can affect the efficacy and safety of drugs, and these are difficult to predict without appropriate studies. Drugs potentially useful and safe in pregnancy have to either not cross the placenta and/or be harmless to the fetus at clinically...
