Abstract
The chorionic bump, an irregular, convex bulge of the choriodecidual surface into the gestational sac (GS), is a recently described, uncommon abnormality of the 1^st^βtrimester GS and is associated with a guarded prognosis for early pregnancy. The case of this 42βyearβold female demonstrates a previously unreported relationship: a transvaginal sonographic finding of a chorionic bump associated with a spontaneous tubal ectopic pregnancy. This might support the hypothesis that the chorionic bump represents a small hematoma that bulges into the GS. Β© 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Clin Ultrasound, 2009

Twin pregnancy has a disproportionate effect on perinatal mortality, being six times higher than for singleton gestations. The major threats to perinatal survival are from two very different pathological processes: spontaneous preterm delivery, and the interlacing clinical complications of monochori
## Abstract A method is described for timing a repeat ultrasound examination in patients evaluated for ectopic pregnancy in whom the findings are initially nondiagnostic. This method is based on measuring the serum hCG at the time of the initial ultrasound examination, which allows the time interva
Pregnancy within a noncommunicating rudimentary horn has a 70% chance of rupturing, with a maternal mortality of 0.5%. It is most commonly managed with operative removal of the horn. We report a pregnancy within a noncommunicating horn and highlight the advantage of early diagnosis via sonography. F
