Description
Ectopic pregnancy, endoscope view. In an ectopic pregnancy, a fertilised egg fails to implant in the uterus to develop. Often, as here, it implants in one of the fallopian tubes, causing the tube to stretch and inflame as the embryo grows (centre). If undetected, the tube is likely to burst, causing potentially fatal haemorrhaging. The uterus is also visible at upper left with the fallopian tubes (white) opening into it.
