ABSTRACT
Introduction Ectopic pregnancy is any pregnancy in which the fertilised ovum implants outside the endometrial lining of the intrauterine cavity. More than 95% of ectopic pregnancies occur in the Fallopian tubes (tubal pregnancy), mainly in the ampullary region. However, other parts of the tube are affected, such as the isthmic or interstitial regions. Another 2.5% occur in the cornua of the uterus, and the remainder are found in the ovary, cervix or abdominal cavity.1
