Ectopic Pregnancy
📋Overview
Tubal pregnancy is a legacy term referring to an ectopic pregnancy located in the fallopian tube, the most common site for ectopic pregnancies. The modern preferred term is 'ectopic pregnancy,' specifically tubal ectopic pregnancy. This condition occurs when a fertilized egg implants outside the uterine cavity, most often within the fallopian tube, leading to a nonviable pregnancy that can cause serious complications if untreated.
