[A ruptured ectopic pregnancy during early termination of pregnancy before ultrasound confirmation]

A new regimen for early termination of pregnancy does not require ultrasound confirmation of intrauterine pregnancy before mifepristone administration. This is a case report of a woman in her 30s, who was treated medically for unwanted pregnancy at five weeks and four days with a serum concentration of human chorionic gonadotropin of 859 U/l. As she was told to expect pain, she awaited follow-up appointment a week later, but before then she collapsed at home, and she was unconscious, when the emergency service arrived. In emergency surgery, 1.3 l of intra-abdominal blood and a right fallopian tube pregnancy were removed.
