title: [Ultrasonographic criteria of diagnosing tubal pregnancy].
abstract: The results were subjected to analysis of USG examination of 11 patients with tubal pregnancy, verifying the found echographic anomalies with the intraoperative assessment done shortly after the USG examination. Of greatest usefulness for the preoperative diagnosis of tubal pregnancy is, according to the authors' opinion, coexistence of the following sonographic signs: enlargement of the uterus without echographic sing of pregnancy in the uterine cavity;-a mass of irregular outline, cystic-solid appearance, and axial dimension of above 50 mm, situated near the uterus;-fluid in the Douglas pouch. The experience of the authors shows that ultrasonography is a valuable supplementation of clinical examination and laboratory analysis in the diagnosis of tubal pregnancy, on condition of using objective criteria for sonogram interpretation.
