title: [Ultrasonographic diagnosis in disturbances of early pregnancy (author's transl)].
abstract: Ultrasonography using high-magnification, modern ultrasonographs enables information on intactness of pregnancy in early disturbed pregnancy. The ultrasound findings can be correlated with the clinical diagnoses, such as incomplete abortion. A final diagnosis, such as missed abortion, can frequently only be made after exact ultrasonographic investigation. The failure rate depends on the equipment and the experience of the investigator. Exact knowledge of the gestational age clearly influences the accuracy of an ultrasonographic diagnosis in early pregnancy. A gestational age earlier than the calculated one may be mistaken for a pregnancy that is no longer intact.
