The above ultrasound images show a bicornuate uterus with a gestation sac in the right cornu (1). The empty left cornu (2) shows typical decidual changes of pregnancy. The 3rd image (bottom) is a sagittal section through each cornu.

2) Cornual pregnancy:

cornual gestation      3-D ultrasound image of cornual pregnancy

Sonography of the uterus shows a gestation sac of 6 weeks 4 days age, in the right cornu of the uterus. 3-D image of the uterus further confirms the findings. These ultrasound images are diagnostic of cornual pregnancy (a type of ectopic pregnancy). Ultrasound images courtesy of Dr. Latha Natrajan, Bangalore, India.

3) Sonography of ruptured ectopic (tubal) pregnancy with pelvic hemorrhage:

tubal pregnancy     empty uterine cavity

left ovarian hemorrhagic cyst    ultrasound image of decidual cast in uterus

pelvic hemorrhage    mass in right fallopian tube

Sonography of the pelvis done on this female patient with pelvic pain and tenderness revealed: 1) enlarged (bulky) uterus with grossly thickened endometrium (decidual cast) of almost 15 mm. The uterus shows absence of any gestation sac. No pseudosac is seen. 2) Transvaginal scan of the pelvis shows a large collection of hemorrhagic fluid in the cul de sac 3) A right adnexal mass, presumably in the Right Fallopian tube is also seen. A left ovarian hemorrhagic cyst is also present.

These ultrasound images suggest a right tubal gestation with hematosalpinx with rupture of the Rt. Fallopian tube.
