Abstract:
Ectopic pregnancy occurs in about 1 in every 125 –300 pregnancies,
depending on the type of institution reporting
Its experience. Accurate and fast diagnosis is essential to minimize morbidity
and mortality. While the signs and symptoms, however occasionally, the clinical
diagnosis is a typical and other causes should be considered. Ultrasonography
(U/S) is a highly accurate means of establishing the diagnosis. The purpose of
this research is to assess the role of the U/S in Ectopic Pregnancy.
In this study, we reviewed the gross anatomy of the uterus, sonographic
anatomy of the uterus, pathology of the uterus, u/s finding of pathological
lesions of the uterus, methods of diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy, clinical,
laboratory, radiological, diagnostic ultrasound of the ectopic pregnancy and
laparoscopy and lastly the differential diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy.
Twentey five patients with clinical and laboratory suspicion of ectopic
pregnancy, U/S accurately diagnosed true positive 86 patients (86%) from the
25 patients. In addition, U/S diagnosed most cases with alternative diagnosis to
ectopic pregnancy.
We discussed our results and found out that T.V U/S was indeed a great
value in diagnosing early ectopic pregnancy and it decreases the negative result
and improve the clinical and laboratory result thus ensuring the outmost safety
of the patients.
We recommend correlation of the U/S diagnosis with clinical and
laboratory findings that U/S findings are strong clinical evidence in diagnosing
ectopic pregnancy .
