ECTOPIC PREGNANCY
Ectopic pregnancy is a pregnancy that occurs when a fertilized egg implants and grows
outside the uterine cavity.
Reason
1) Impaired transportation of products of conception as a result of:
• Pelvic inflammation (PID)
• Intrauterine device (IUD)
• Narrowing of the tube lumen due to tumor
• Post tubal microsurgery
• Abortion
2) Hormonal abnormalities:
• Ovulation induction
• In vitro fertilization
• Late ovulation
• Ovum transmigration
Pathophysiology
Ectopic pregnancies occur as a result of impaired transport of the fertilized ovum from the tube
to the uterine cavity, mostly disrupted at 6-10 weeks of gestation and can occur:
• Products of conception die prematurely and are reabsorbed
• Abortion into the lumen of the tube
• Tube wall rupture
• Secondary abdominal pregnancy
Prognosis
• Ectopic pregnancy is an important cause of death so the diagnosis must be fast
• Mortality due to ruptured ectopic pregnancy tends to decrease with early diagnosis and
blood supply
• In general, abnormalities that cause ectopic pregnancies are bilateral
Diagnosis
• Anamnesis • The sufferer is in pain
• Late menstruation for some time • Pale (anemic)
• Lower abdominal pain • Hypotension
• Tenesmus • Stomach bloated, tenderness
• vaginal bleeding • Shock
• General inspection
