Re: Informal Case: Live Ectopic PregnancyFrom: DuboseTerryJ@uams.eduWed May 9 08:36:30 2001
The medical term is defined as (from Stedman's Electronic Medical Dictionary): ectopic ek-topcik 1. Out of place; said of an organ not in its proper position, or of a pregnancy occurring elsewhere than in the cavity of the uterus. Syn: aberrant(3), heterotopic(1), imperforate anus(2). 2. In cardiography, denoting a heartbeat that has its origin in some abnormal focus; developing from a focus other than the sinoatrial node. Origin [see ectopia] Therefore an ectopic pregnancy is one that is not in it's proper location in the uterus... often in the fallopian tube(s), which may be referred to as a "tubal pregnancy". Hope this helps. Terry J.

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.
