Abstract:
Ectopic pregnancy, characterized by the aberrant implantation of blastocysts outside the uterine endometrial lining, typically occurs within the fallopian tube. Clinical presentation of tubal pregnancy ranges from asymptomatic cases to a spectrum of symptoms, including amenorrhea, pelvic pain, vaginal bleeding, and, critically, hemorrhagic shock resulting from tubal rupture. Utilizing serum beta-human chorionic gonadotropin levels and ultrasound examinations is pivotal in confirming the diagnosis. Diagnosing tubal pregnancy during the first trimester is feasible and crucial to prevent rupture, yet reports of fatal cases persist due to delays in diagnosis or misdiagnosis. This paper presents a unique case of an advanced tubal pregnancy at 13 weeks of gestation, featuring a viable fetus. This case underscores the importance of timely and accurate diagnosis to avoid life-threatening complications. It highlights the critical need for heightened medical vigilance and continuous education among healthcare professionals in managing ectopic pregnancies effectively.
