HETEROTROPIC PREGNANCY
Most important cause of EP
PELVIC INFLAMMATORY DISEASE (PID)
o Tubal epithelium invades Myo salpinx, forming a diverticulum
Salpingitis Isthmic Nodosa of the tube (SIN)
partial stenosis of the tube
TUBECTOMY
removal of one or both fallopian tubes.
SALPINGECTOMY
kinking at the isthmic portion of the tube
VENTROSUSPENSION
Abnormal proliferation and then degeneration of the trophoblastic villi
GESTATIONAL TROPHOBLASTIC DISEASE
(HYDATIDIFORM MOLE)
prevents intrauterine pregnancy more effectively than tubal pregnancy
INTRA UTERINE CONTRACEPTIVE DEVICE (IUCD)
Management for H-mole
