Ectopic pregnancy (EP) is a life-threatening condition and remains the leading cause of death in the first trimester of pregnancy, although the mortality rate has significantly decreased over the past few decades because of earlier diagnoses and great improvements in treatment. EP is most commonly located in the ampullary portion of the fallopian tube and rarely in unusual sites such as the interstitium, cervix, cesarean scar, anomalous rudimentary horn of the uterus and peritoneal abdominal cavity. MRI may confirm or give additional information to ultrasonography, which is the most user-dependent imaging modality. Magnetic resonance imaging can accurately localize the site of abnormal implantation. It could be helpful for EP patient treatment by distinguishing the ruptured and unruptured cases before methotrexate treatment. MRI is quite sensitive to blood and can identify the hemorrhage phase.
The PAIR technique was found to be an effective and safe approach in order to treat Gharbi type 1 and type 2 cysts percutaneously for outpatients. It has a very low complication rate in comparison with the catheterization technique. So every effort should be made to finish the treatment with PAIR technique.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
