title: [The potentials of echography in the diagnosis of extrauterine pregnancy].
abstract: By the means of ultrasound real-time scanning 76 consecutive women with suspected extra-uterine pregnancy were examined during the period 1987-1990. There were positive findings in 24 (31.57%) proved later intraoperatively in 11 (14.47%) were found thin-walled, single-camera lesions of the ovaries. In 10 of them (13.16%) there was no ultrasonic evidence for ectopic pregnancy. These were hospitalized and treated for acute adnexitis. A torsion of the right ovary was found in 1 women (132%) intraoperatively. The ultrasound examination of pelvis seems to be a valuable diagnostic tool when ectopic pregnancy is suspected. This might determine its wider application in urgent gynecology.
