Case Summary
- Ectopic pregnancy occurs when a fertilized egg implants outside the uterus, most commonly in the fallopian tube. Tubal pregnancies are the most frequent type, with ampullary pregnancies being the most common within that category. Other rarer types include ovarian, abdominal, intramural, cervical, and cesarean scar ectopic pregnancies. Heterotopic pregnancy is the co-occurrence of both an intrauterine and extrauterine pregnancy. Early diagnosis is crucial as ectopic pregnancy can be life-threatening.
