Abstract
Ectopic pregnancies represent 2% of all recognized pregnancies, and of these, less than 5% are non-tubal in location (1). Improvements in ultrasound technology and appropriate follow up with serial quantitative HCG levels and the development of specific diagnostic criteria for nontubal ectopic pregnancies have improved earlier diagnostic confirmation and management. Expectant management of non-tubal ectopic pregnancies can result in adverse outcomes including hemorrhage, uterine rupture, and need for hysterectomy (2).
