Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, The Division of Maternal-Fetal Medicine, Strong Memorial Hospital, The University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry, Rochester, New York With endovaginal sonography, very small gestational sacs may be detected. We describe a case in which endovaginal color Doppler sonography demonstrated active embryonic heart motion in an ectopic gestation at 5 weeks. The possible clinical application of this enhanced diagnostic modality is discussed.
