A study evaluating the endometrial thickness, morphology and appearance in a series of confirmed ectopic pregnancies

Introduction: Many ectopic pregnancies are diagnosed with ultrasound features of adnexal mass or fluid in the pelvis. The absence of intrauterine pregnancy, especially with a B-hCG above the discriminatory level, can raise the level of suspicion. Pregnancy causes a choriodecidual reaction in the endometrium, producing the sonographic appearance of the echogenic trophoblastic endometrium, which could be, theoretically predictive of the location of pregnancy.
