Prolonged retention of a second trimester tubal pregnancy
Outcomes of tubal ectopic pregnancy include tubal rupture with major hemorrhage, tubal miscarriage, or pregnancy failure with spontaneous resolution but there are some reported cases of advancing pregnancy until 2nd or even 3rd trimester. We present the case of a 34-year-old woman admitted to the Gynecology emergency room with pelvic pain and fever as a consequence of a tubo-ovarian abscess in the context of a 16 weeks demised tubal pregnancy. Pelvic ultrasound enlightened the diagnosis and the woman was submitted to surgery with a favorable recovering.
