Abstract
Objective: The purpose of the study was to investigate the clinical manifestations of patients with spontaneous ectopic pregnancy and patients with the same diagnosis secondary to fertility treatments. Methods: The study included a total of 40 cases. Patients were divided into two groups according to the manner of presentation of ectopic pregnancy. In Group 1, ectopic pregnancy was spontaneous; in Group 2, it was associated with fertility treatments (ovulation induction and IVF). Results: Mean age of all patients was 32.6 ± 5.5 years. In patients with previous ovulation induction, symptoms of concomitant ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) masked clinical manifestations of ectopic pregnancy. There were no significant differences in time of surgical management. Conclusion: The clinical results indicate that patients who develop ectopic pregnancy after fertility treatments have difficult-to-perform diagnoses. High awareness is mandatory in clinicians with this kind of patient.
