*Mariam Bourzoufi, Hafssa Taheri, Saadi Hanan and Ahmed Mimouni
ABSTRACT
Tubal abortion is characterized by the expulsion of an ectopic product of conception implanted in the fallopian tubes through the abdominal ostium into the peritoneal cavity. Whether complete or incomplete, it can result in significant bleeding. Knowing a complete tubal abortion can be difficult, but its diagnosis is essential for conservative therapy in order to preserve tubal function and fertility. Ultrasound examination helps to recognize hemoperitoneum but is of little value in the diagnosis of tubal abortion. Laparoscopic findings alone are only suggestive of complete tubal abortion, but in combination with ?-hCG cinetics, the diagnosis can be established.
