3 Patient Index Case HPI: year-old G1P1 with LMP 8 wks ago, presenting with 3 weeks of ongoing LLQ pain. Reports mild vaginal bleeding for the t last 10 days. Negative pregnancy test and normal ultrasound 3 weeks ago. EXAM: VITALS: T 98.4 HR 100 RR 20 BP 123/67 ABDOMEN: Tender to palpation in LLQ with radiation to RLQ. PELVIC: No active bleeding. Mild cervical motion tenderness, left adnexal tenderness. LABS: HCG: 3610
4 Differential diagnosis DDX for abdominal pain in women of reproductive age includes: Pregnancy-related: Ectopic pregnancy, spontaneous abortion. Gynecologic: Endometritis, pelvic inflammatory disease, tuboovarian abscess, endometriosis, ovarian neoplasm, ovarian torsion/rupture/hemorrhage, uterine fibroids. Non-gynecologic: Appendicitis, bowel obstruction, diverticulitis, IBD, UTI, pyelonephritis, nephrolithiasis.
5 Clinical Correlates Clinical Triad Abdominal Pain Vaginal Bleeding Amenorrhea These clinical findings are non-specific and also occur in patients who spontaneously abort.
6 Physical exam findings Enlarged uterus. Vaginal bleeding. Pelvic pain with manipulation of cervix. Palpable adnexal mass. Red flags for ruptured ectopic pregnancy: Significant abdominal tenderness, hypotension, guarding and rebound tenderness.
7 Diagnostic Tests Urine pregnancy test. B-hCG measurement. Less commonly used: diagnostic curettage & serum progesterone levels. Radiologic test of choice: Transvaginal ultrasound.
8 Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (B-hCG) Levels Normal intrauterine pregnancy: B-hCG B levels should rise by at least 66% over 48hrs. Levels of hcg that plateau in first 8wks of pregnancy indicate abnormal pregnancy (SAB or ectopic). Transvaginal ultrasonography should detect an intrauterine pregnancy when B-hCG B level is >1500mIU/mL (~ mIU/mL). Risk of ectopic pregnancy high if hcg above discriminatory factor without an intrauterine gestational sac.
9 Transvaginal ultrasonography: the modality of choice How does it work? High-frequency sound waves directed into the body and manner in which sound is reflected back to transducer is recorded. Advantages: no ionizing radiation, inexpensive, minimal invasive. Disadvantages: operator dependent, moderate resolution. Transabdominal US is no longer considered to be sufficient for proper diagnosis. Transvaginal US is the imaging of choice for evaluation of ectopic pregnancy: Intrauterine pregnancies are reliably diagnosed earlier. Sensitivity: 67 to 100. Specificity: 100 (virtual certainty).

26 Ectopic pregnancy locations Ectopic pregnancy results if the blastocyst implants anywhere outside of the uterine cavity. The vast majority of ectopic pregnancies occur in: - Ampulla Ectopic Pregnancy % - 90% - Isthmic Ectopic Pregnancy --- 5% - 15% Heterotopic pregnancy (one embryo in the uterus and one ectopic embryo): 1/7000 (incidence in heterotopic pregnancies has increased due to assisted reproductive technologies 1%).
27 Predisposing factors **Any factor that interferes with the normal fallopian tube function** Previous tubal surgery. Previous ectopic pregnancy. In-utero diethylstilbestrol exposure. Previous gynecologic infections (PID). Treatment of infertility. Current cigarette smoking. Previous intrauterine device use.
28 Ectopic pregnancy facts Ectopic pregnancies make up 1.9% of all reported pregnancies (0.5% of all pregnancies in 1970 to 2% in 1992). Incidence increasing due to increase in pelvic inflammatory disease and ART % 15% of all maternal deaths are due to ectopic pregnancies. Infertility occurs in 10-15% 15% of women who have had an ectopic pregnancy.
29 Management of Ectopic Pregnancy EXPECTANT MANAGEMENT 1. Low & declining hcg levels. MEDICAL (MTX) 1. Small tubal diameter (<3.5cm). 2. No fetal cardiac activity. 3. hcg concentration <5000mIU/mL. Serial hcg measurements! SURGICAL 1. Ruptured ectopic/ hemodynamically unstable. 2. Contraindications to medical therapy. 3. Lack of timely access to medical institution. 4. Failed medical therapy.
30 Take-home points Ectopic pregnancy should always be considered in women of reproductive age presenting with abdominal pain. The classic triad of ectopic pregnancy includes abdominal pain, vaginal bleeding, and amenorrhea. Transvaginal ultrasound is the modality of choice when diagnosing an ectopic pregnancy. With hcg level>1500miu/ml and no IUP identified on transvaginal ultrasound, this is high-risk for ectopic pregnancy. Transvaginal ultrasound is diagnostic if a true gestational sac, yolk sac, embryo, or cardiac activity is found inside or outside of the t uterus. Ectopic pregnancy is the leading cause of pregnancy related death in 1 st trimester of pregnancy.
