PURPOSE To evaluate the relationship of the endometrial canal and decidua vera to the interstitial gestational sac and to determine if this relationship can be used to increase the predictive value of ultrasound (US) in the diagnosis of interstitial ectopic pregnancy. MATERIALS AND METHODS The US findings in 12 patients with interstitial ectopic pregnancy were reviewed. Radiologists also revi...

Introduction: Interstitial pregnancies are rare. There have been sporadic reports of postoperative uterine scar rupture; precise frequency is unknown. Herein, we report a case where rupture was observed during cesarean section after surgery for interstitial ectopic pregnancy.

Traditional treatment of interstitial pregnancy includes cornual resection or hysterectomy by laparotomy, but advanced minimally invasive surgery allows successful endoscopic management. We report a case where interstitial pregnancy was successfully diagnosed by ultrasound and treated by laparoscopy. Patient had an unremarkable postoperative course. This case demonstrates that a laparoscopic ap...

OBJECTIVE Ectopic pregnancy in the interstitial part of the Fallopian tubes can be life-threatining considering the thin myometrial tissue surrounding the gestational sac and highly vascularization which may result in catastrophic haemorrhage when interstitium is ruptured. The diagnosis and management is challenging. Conservative, medical, and surgical treatment options should be considered bas...

Vaginal bleeding in early pregnancy is a common emergency department complaint. Point-of-care ultrasound is a useful tool to evaluate for intrauterine ectopic pregnancy. Emergency physicians performing these studies need to be cognizant of artifacts produced by ultrasound technology, as they can lead to misdiagnosis. We present two cases where mirror-image artifacts initially led to a concern f...

Heterotopic pregnancy represents an unusual affection characterized by the coexistence of both intra and extra-uterine pregnancy in the same patient. We report a case study occurred in a 32 years old woman and revealed by a clinical table of abdominal mass syndrome. She was requested an ultrasound that allowed the diagnosis of a delayed abdominal pregnancy, but did not show the intra-uterine ge...
