Abstract
Ectopic pregnancy - any pregnancy outside the uterine cavity - affects 1-2 % of all pregnancies. While the diagnosis and treatment of the most common ectopic pregnancy (tubal pregnancy which accounts for > 90 % of cases) is established, other forms, such as Caesarean scar pregnancy, pose an increasing challenge. This article describes the different forms of ectopic pregnancies and the respective therapeutic options.
期刊介绍:
Ultraschall in der Medizin / European Journal of Ultrasound publishes scientific papers and contributions from a variety of disciplines on the diagnostic and therapeutic applications of ultrasound with an emphasis on clinical application. Technical papers with a physiological theme as well as the interaction between ultrasound and biological systems might also occasionally be considered for peer review and publication, provided that the translational relevance is high and the link with clinical applications is tight. The editors and the publishers reserve the right to publish selected articles online only. Authors are welcome to submit supplementary video material. Letters and comments are also accepted, promoting a vivid exchange of opinions and scientific discussions.
