This movie shows the most common form of ectopic pregnancies, those that occur with premature implantation in the uterine or fallopian tubes, a "tubal pregnancy".

The movie shows an ectopic embryo (less than 10 weeks gestation) which has implanted in the left uterine tube.

  • RT - Normal Right Tube, the movie starts by showing the normal right uterine tube.
  • LT - Ectopic Left Tube, the scan then moves to the left uterine tube (LT) where ectopic implantation has occurred.
  • LOV - Also visible is the left ovary
  • UT - uterus.


  • Zoom Region - A region of the whole ultrasound can be zoomed in for more detail.
  • Heart - In the movie, the zoomed image shows the embryo has developed to the stage where a beating heart can be detected by ultrasound.
  • Limbs - Also visible are the developing upper and lower limbs.
