[Ultrasound diagnosis of early pregnancy failures].
A total of 754 patients with suspected abnormal intrauterine pregnancy and ectopic pregnancy were examined by ultrasound in 1979 and 1980. The correlation between clinical, laboratory and ultrasound findings was made. Plasma hCG levels are shown to be valid in the differentiation between nonpregnant cases and normal intrauterine pregnancies and ectopic cases but not between intrauterine early pregnancy failures and ectopic pregnancies. In the diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy, ultrasound, in combination with the plasma hCG determination and, in some cases, with laparoscopic findings, is a very useful method. According to the results obtained, ultrasound is the method of choice for the detection of early pregnancy failures: missed abortion, blighted ovum, incomplete abortion, and hydatidiform mole.
