Introduction The most important way to reduce maternal mortality and preserve fertility related to EP is the diagnosis and early treatment. Transvaginal pelvic US is the first diagnostic tool in hemodinamically stable patients with suspected EP. Recently studies have shown that in 73, 9% of the cases it is possible to make a diagnosis by transvaginal US and in 94% of the cases EP is diagnosed e...

A case of an intact primary ovarian pregnancy with ultrasonographic demonstration of heart motion following ovarian stimulation is presented. After preoperative ultrasonographic confirmation of an extrauterine pregnancy, proof of the ovarian localization was achieved by intra-operative ultrasonographic visualization during a diagnostic laparoscopy on post-menstrual day 48. A moderate ovarian hy...

Spontaneous heterotopic pregnancy is a rare clinical condition in which intrauterine and extrauterine pregnancies occur at the same time. The occurrence of an ovarian heterotopic pregnancy is a singular event as it comprises only 2.3% of all heterotopic pregnancies, extremely rare among women who conceive naturally. A case of a 28-year old patient was treated for spontaneously conceived heterot...

An intact female Maltese dog, rescued two months previously, and weighing 2.7 kg, was presented for ovariohysterectomy. There were no typical clinical signs and evidences of parturitions. A firm abdominal mass was palpated, which was identified as a round-shaped radiopaque mass in survey radiography. The mass was tentatively diagnosed as an extrauterine foetus with mummification on computed tom...

Peritoneal pregnancies are classified as primary and secondary. Primary implantation on the peritoneum is extremely rare in extrauterine pregnancy and is a potentially life-threatening variation of ectopic pregnancy within the peritoneal cavity, representing a grave risk to maternal health. Secondary abdominal pregnancies are by far the most common and result from tubal abortion or rupture, or ...

Only two cases have been reported of congenital dislocation of the hip in infants born after extrauterine pregnancies. We report a further two and discuss the management and the variable outcome. These cases seem to confirm that congenital dislocation of the hip is associated with moulding forces rather than being a teratological abnormality.

BACKGROUND This study aimed to determine the clinical efficacy of various immune interventions on mother-to-child transmission (MTCT) of hepatitis B virus (HBV). METHODS We retrieved different immune strategies on how to prevent MTCT reported in the literature from Chinese and English electronic databases from the viewpoint of intrauterine and extrauterine prevention. Relative risk (RR) and 9...

A pregnant woman with inherited thrombophilia (factor II mutation--20210A) had two late pregnancy losses. The first pregnancy was not well documented, but the second pregnancy was complicated by fetal thrombophilia and umbilical artery thrombosis, proven after fetal death. During the third pregnancy enoxaparine was introduced in the therapy and early amniocentesis was performed. Fetal thromboph...
