Ultrasound (US) accurately identifies ectopic pregnancy by detecting free fluid and characterizing hematomas. These findings correlate with surgical and pathological results, aiding diagnosis.

Area of Science:

  • Reproductive Medicine
  • Diagnostic Imaging

Background:

  • Ectopic pregnancy diagnosis relies on imaging and clinical correlation.
  • Ultrasound is a primary tool for evaluating suspected ectopic pregnancies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review ultrasound findings in ectopic pregnancy.
  • To compare ultrasound results with surgical and pathological outcomes.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 53 ultrasound examinations for ectopic pregnancy.
  • Comparison of ultrasound findings with surgical and pathological data.

Main Results:

  • Free fluid was the most common finding on ultrasound and during surgery.
  • Hematosalpinx showed defined margins, while pelvic hematomas were poorly defined.

  • Clot echogenicity varied but was similar to uterine echogenicity.
  • Decidual reaction was observed in 26% of patients with diverse appearances.

    • Conclusions:

    • Ultrasound findings, including free fluid and hematoma characteristics, correlate well with surgical and pathological diagnoses of ectopic pregnancy.
    • Ultrasound can help differentiate between hematosalpinx and pelvic hematomas.
