As an aside. Two variations on the missing ectopic. One resident broke your rule one and gave the MTX. IUP showed up later. Infant happily ok. A pt of mine, somewhat identical, we took to the OR. Tubes normal. D&C only decidua. At the second laparoscopy, after a fetal heart beat seen on US, I found an ovarian pregnancy fulfilling all of Spiegleberg’s criteria!

And I delivered a patient once after she came to me because she was D&C'd and 'scoped by local docs who thought it was an ectopic and found only decidua (luckily) on D&C and normal tubes and ovaries.

P.S. It wasn't that mysterious. They couldn't correlate beta-hCG levels versus U/S findings, etc. I presume they're better edu-ma-cated now.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
