After going through the case report, it seems there can be two possible explanations for the tubal ligation performed without the consent of the patient: first, absolute malafide intent and second, a medical mix-up with tragic long-term consequences for the girl.

The classic symptoms of ectopic pregnancy are secondary amenorrhoea, abdominal pain and vaginal haemorrhage, with a clinical picture of varying acuteness. It is among the commonest causes of maternal mortality during the first three months of pregnancy. In the majority of cases (95%) the pregnancy is tubal, but other sites are possible (cervical, corneal, ovarian, peritoneal). In the treatment ...

Background. The incidence of tubal ectopic gestation caused by schistosomiasis induced tubal pathology is undocumented in this environment, which may be due to rarity of this pathology. Bilateral tubal gestation is common in patients that have undergone in vitro fertilization. We report a hitherto undocumented case of spontaneous bilateral ectopic gestation following tubal schistosomiasis. Case...

Laparoscopic tubal ligation is an effective means of permanent sterilization. The recently released CREST study underscores the need for proper patient selection and counseling.

Ectopic pregnancy, a worldwide health problem, is potentially life-threatening and occurs in approximately 1.5-2% of all pregnancies in the western world; however, the precise mechanisms underlying the initiation and development of tubal ectopic pregnancy are unknown. Tubal abnormalities and dysfunction, such as altered contractility or abnormal ciliary activity, have been speculated to lead to...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate serum chlamydia antibody titers (CATs) in tubal occlusion or previous ectopic pregnancy and the associated risk factors. METHODS The study population consisted of 55 women wih tubal damage and 55 parous women. CAT was measured using the whole-cell inclusion immunofluorescence test and cervical chlamydial DNA detected by PCR. Odds ratios were calculated to assess variable...

İstenmeyen gebelikleri önlemek için çeşitli kontraseptif yöntemler kullanılmaktadır. Bu yöntemlerin hiçbiri yüzde yüz olarak gebelikten koruma sağlamamakla beraber, bu doğru uygulanmadığında ise kümülatif gebelik oranlarını yıllara göre artırdığı gösterilmiştir. yöntemlerden biri olan tubal ligasyon sonrası da ender izlenebilir. Tubal ligasyon, kalıcı ve kesin bir yöntem tanımlanan yöntemdir. o...

Non-tubal ectopic pregnancies are a rare subgroup of ectopic pregnancies implanted at sites other than the Fallopian tube. Mortality from non-tubal ectopic pregnancies is higher compared with that for tubal ectopic pregnancies, and they are becoming more common, partly due to the rising incidence of Caesarean sections and use of assisted reproductive technologies. Non-tubal ectopic pregnancies ...

Aim: To compare risk factors for extratubal gestations with tubal gestations. Materials and methods: Case control design with retrospective examination of an electronic database to identify ectopic gestations. Ectopic gestations were confirmed through ultrasound examination or serum beta hCG levels. We defined an ectopic gestation as implantation of pregnancy outside uterine cavity; tubal ectop...

Tubal ectopic pregnancy (EP) in hysterectomised patient is uncommon. It has propensity to be overlooked. We report a rare case of missed tubal 46 years old patient. She presented with abdominal pain and adnexal mass on imaging. Diagnosis was only possible intraoperatively owing overlapping symptoms imaging features that ovarian tumor.
