A ruptured seventeen weeks' ectopic pregnancy: A case report.

Ectopic pregnancy is a common condition with a prevalence of 2% in all pregnancies. Implantation of the developing blastocyst outside the uterine cavity leads to ectopic pregnancy. About 95% of ectopic pregnancies occur in the different segments of the fallopian tubes. Usually, an ectopic pregnancy grows up to 1.5-3.5 cm and any size greater than this leads to rupture. We present a case of ruptured ectopic pregnancy in which the foetus had a crown-rump length(CRL) of 12 cm was retrieved. To our knowledge, this is the largest foetus recovered from a ruptured ectopic pregnancy at the ampulla of fallopian tube reported in the literature. Timely diagnosis and proper management is the key to reduce morbidity associated with it.
