[Ectopic pregnancy with etonogestrel contraceptive implant (Implanon): first case].
We describe the first case of ectopic pregnancy occurring in a patient with an etonogestrel contraceptive implant (Implanon). There was no factor predisposing to a failure of the technique (implant in place for less than 2 years and normal BMI). In addition there was no risk factor for an ectopic location of the pregnancy. We discuss the role of the micro progestative in the location of the pregnancy. This case report emphasizes the fact that ectopic pregnancy should not be ruled out in women taking this contraception, however efficient it is otherwise.
