چکیده
CASE A 26-year-old female presented with complaints of vaginal bleeding. Her history was significant for fetal loss during her only prior pregnancy. Her last menstrual period was 6 weeks prior. The urine pregnancy test result was positive. She had visited an outside hospital the day before and was diagnosed with a threatened abortion. The patient reported that her ultrasound results at the time had revealed a ‘‘normal early pregnancy.’’ Bedside transvaginal ultrasonography was performed (see video, online only) and a bicornuate uterus was identified. A pregnancy with gestational sac, yolk sac, and small fetal pole was identified high in the right cornual limb. The endo-myometrial mantle or EMM (the distance from the outer part of the gestational sac to the uterine wall) was found to be 5.6 mm. No free fluid was identified.
