An ectopic pregnancy results from a pregnancy following the implantation of a blastocyst at any location other than the endometrial lining of the uterine cavity. Although an ectopic pregnancy is more readily diagnosed due to improved testing techniques available today, it is a life-threatening condition and remains a major source of patient morbidity and mortality. Furthermore, the disease state can easily become more complex as the patient faces the loss of a child and fears for her own health.

Key Words: sonography • ectopic pregnancy • serum quantitative beta human chorionic gonadotropin • color flow • pulsed Doppler
