Abstract
This case study presents the diagnosis and management of an abdominal ectopic pregnancy following in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET). The patient initially experienced atypical symptoms. Elevated serum β-hCG levels and comprehensive imaging eventually confirmed the diagnosis of abdominal ectopic pregnancy. Timely laparoscopic surgery was performed, effectively managing this rare and potentially life-threatening condition. This case underscores the importance of thorough follow-up and advanced imaging techniques in the early detection and treatment of ectopic pregnancies, particularly in the context of assisted reproductive technologies.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Clinical Ultrasound (JCU) is an international journal dedicated to the worldwide dissemination of scientific information on diagnostic and therapeutic applications of medical sonography.
The scope of the journal includes--but is not limited to--the following areas: sonography of the gastrointestinal tract, genitourinary tract, vascular system, nervous system, head and neck, chest, breast, musculoskeletal system, and other superficial structures; Doppler applications; obstetric and pediatric applications; and interventional sonography. Studies comparing sonography with other imaging modalities are encouraged, as are studies evaluating the economic impact of sonography. Also within the journal''s scope are innovations and improvements in instrumentation and examination techniques and the use of contrast agents.
JCU publishes original research articles, case reports, pictorial essays, technical notes, and letters to the editor. The journal is also dedicated to being an educational resource for its readers, through the publication of review articles and various scientific contributions from members of the editorial board and other world-renowned experts in sonography.
