Ultrasonographic and postoperative diagnosis of spontaneous viable tubal abortion following slow-leaking ectopic gestation

Abstract

Ruptured ectopic pregnancy is not an uncommon diagnosis in gynecological emergency admissions, but spontaneous tubal abortion with an intact live fetus is a rare event which can be diagnosed preoperatively with ultrasound. The aim of this study is to report a case of spontaneous live tubal abortion following ectopic gestation that was diagnosed ultrasonographically and confirmed intraoperatively.
