An ectopic pregnancy is a pregnancy located outside of the intrauterine cavity.They comprise 1-2% of all first trimester pregnancies and 6% of pregnancy related deaths in the United States [1]. Ectopic pregnancies most commonly occur in the fallopian tube but can also implant in other locations, including the ovaries, peritoneal cavity, cesarean section scars and the cervix [2].
