Terminology for describing normally sited and ectopic pregnancies on ultrasound: ESHRE recommendations for good practice.

ABSTRACT:

Study question

What recommendations can be provided to improve terminology for normal and ectopic pregnancy description on ultrasound?

Summary answer

The present ESHRE document provides 17 consensus recommendations on how to describe normally sited and different types of ectopic pregnancies on ultrasound.

What is known already

Current diagnostic criteria stipulate that each type of ectopic pregnancy can be defined by clear anatomical landmarks which facilitates reaching a correct diagnosis. However, a clear definition of normally sited pregnancies and a comprehensive classification of ectopic pregnancies are still lacking.
