Case Summary
- Ectopic pregnancy, occurring in 1-2% of pregnancies worldwide, involves implantation of the fertilized ovum outside the uterine cavity, most commonly in the fallopian tube. Diagnosis is crucial due to potential morbidity and, rarely, mortality (around 0.2%). Ruptured ectopic pregnancies account for a significant proportion (9-14%) of pregnancy-related deaths.
