Uterine Ectopic Pregnancy
Abstract
Uterine ectopic pregnancies are relatively rare and account for less than 5% of all ectopic pregnancies. They can implant either partially or completely within the cervix, the site of a previous caesarean section scar or in the myometrium. Ultrasound diagnostic criteria now exist for all these pregnancies. A pregnancy can also implant in the rudimentary horn of a unicornuate uterus.
