Abstract

The advent of color Doppler ultrasound has increased the early diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy (EP) and, as a consequence, the possibility of opting for a mini-invasive surgical approach. In the present study, the authors report two cases of suspected EP in the early weeks of gestation, aiming to demonstrate that correct application of the color power Doppler ultrasound technique, which could reveal the first sign of early EP, plays a decisive role in confirming the diagnosis. Correct and early diagnosis of EP allows early surgical treatment and may therefore significantly reduce morbidity and/or mortality
