ABSTRACT
We have heard already in detail about the management options for tubal ectopic pregnancies. However although non-tubal ectopic pregnancies account for only 5% of all ectopic pregnancies, they contribute to a disproportionate number of serious complications.1 Both diagnosis and management can pose a significant problem. In the past many were not diagnosed until the time of surgery, which was often associated with serious morbidity and mortality. The most commonly encountered non-tubal ectopic pregnancies are interstitial and cervical pregnancies. Although rare, other types of non-tubal ectopic pregnancies include ovarian, abdominal and caesarean section scar pregnancies.
