Area of Science:

  • Radiology
  • Obstetrics & Gynecology
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Ectopic pregnancy poses significant risks to maternal health.
  • Accurate and timely diagnosis is crucial for effective management.
  • Transvaginal sonography offers detailed pelvic imaging.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To characterize transvaginal sonography findings in ectopic pregnancy.
  • To correlate sonographic features with operative findings.
  • To evaluate the diagnostic utility of transvaginal sonography for ectopic pregnancy.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of transvaginal sonograms from 37 women with confirmed ectopic pregnancy.
  • Analysis of sonographic features including gestational sac, adnexal mass, and cul-de-sac fluid.

  • Correlation of sonographic findings with surgical outcomes.

    • Main Results:

    • 36 out of 37 ectopic pregnancies were tubal.
    • An ectopic gestational sac was visualized in 21.88% of cases.
    • Nonspecific adnexal mass was observed in 81.08%, and cul-de-sac fluid in 59.46%.

    Conclusions:

    • Transvaginal sonography provides excellent visualization of pelvic organs for ectopic pregnancy diagnosis.
    • This technique facilitates early detection, minimizing diagnostic delays and patient risk.
    • Sonographic findings are valuable for confirming and characterizing ectopic pregnancies.
