Objective: A secondary ectopic pregnancy is defined as continuing development of a fetus in the abdominal cavity after rupture of the uterine wall, which may be associated with a history of trauma. Methods: A cat was referred to the veterinary teaching hospital of the University of Tehran with history of anorexia and vaginal bleeding. In clinical examination some masses werepalpated in abdomina...

We describe a case of an abdominal pregnancy which presented in the first trimester with rapid accumulation of blood stained ascites. The ascites resolved completely following surgical removal of a gestational sac from the peritoneal cavity. The pathophysiology of ascites in this case may be similar to that in cases of ascites in other non-malignant gynaecological conditions.

Improvement in ultrasound technology, including transvaginalsonography and higher frequency probes, has led to a better understanding of early pregnancy development. The first trimester ultrasound have been identified that can be used to reassure women that their pregnancy is progressing normally or abnormal them that their pregnancy will fail. The practicing radiologist and obstetrician must b...

Proc (Bayl Univ Med Cent) 2012;25(1):73–75 A 21-year-old African American woman presented to the emergency department with a 3-week history of heavy vaginal bleeding; she had experienced varying amounts of bleeding but never needed more than a pad per hour.

Over a six-month-period, from 1st March 1988 to 30th September 1988, 127 patients suspected of having ectopic gestation at the Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH) were referred for sonographic examination, of whom 100 (78.7%) had enough data for a final diagnosis. During sonography, ectopic pregnancy was diagnosed in 31 (31%) patients, out of whom 15 (48.4%) were confirmed to have ectopic gestatio...

Herein is described the case of a 28-year-old woman in whom uterine artery embolization (UAE) was performed to treat intramural ectopic pregnancy. The intramural ectopic pregnancy was diagnosed at magnetic resonance imaging, which showed a gestational sac surrounded completely by myometrium. The UAE procedure was uncomplicated, with satisfactory results. Intramural ectopic pregnancy may be trea...

BACKGROUND According to previous studies, even after embryonic cardiac activity is detected, the pregnancy loss rate remains 3-4 %. The objectives of this study were to investigate the differences in ultrasound parameters between a miscarriage group and an ongoing pregnancy group during the 1(st) trimester and to build a logistic model to predict early pregnancy loss (EPL) after the appearance ...

Ann Saudi Med 2006;26(4):333 A 20-year-old woman, primigravida, with a last menstrual period 8 weeks ago, presented with lower abdominal pain for two days and vaginal bleeding for one day. The gynecological examination found vaginal bleeding, no enlargement in uterine size, and a painful mass 4 centimeters in diameter in the right adnexal region. The serum β-HCG level was 8200 mIU/mL. Transvagi...
