“…Finding interstitial portions of the tubes is very helpful to exclude the diagnosis of unicornuate uterus and is essential for making the diagnosis of interstitial pregnancy. By examining the fundal aspect of the uterus in a transverse section, the interstitial tubes can be identified as thin hyperechoic lines extending from the lateral aspect of the uterine cavity through the myometrium towards the uterine serosa7. They can be seen routinely in women with intrauterine pregnancies < 7 weeks' gestation.…”

“…At US, an effort must be made to identify the interstitial segment of the fallopian tube (7). The interstitial segment of the fallopian tube is best evaluated in the trans verse plane at the level of the uterine fundus and is seen as a thin echogenic line that extends from the lateral aspect of the endometrial cav ity through the uterine myometrium toward the uterine serosa (8). A normal intrauterine ges tational sac is located medial to the echogenic interstitial tube, whereas an interstitial ectopic pregnancy is located in the echogenic interstitial line (Fig 3a).…”

Ectopic pregnancy occurs when implantation of the blastocyst takes place in a site other than the endometrium of the uterine cavity. Uncommon implantation sites of ectopic pregnancy include the cervix, interstitial segment of the fallopian tube, scar from a prior cesarean delivery, uterine myometrium, ovary, and peritoneal cavity. Heterotopic and twin ectopic pregnancies are other rare manifestations. Ultrasonography (US) plays a central role in diagnosis of uncommon ectopic pregnancies. US features of an interstitial ectopic pregnancy include an echogenic interstitial line and abnormal bulging of the myometrial contour. A gestational sac that is located below the internal os of the cervix and that contains an embryo with a fetal heartbeat is indicative of a cervical ectopic pregnancy. In a cesarean scar ectopic pregnancy, the gestational sac is implanted in the anterior lower uterine segment at the site of the cesarean scar, with thinning of the myometrium seen anterior to the gestational sac. An intramural gestational sac implants in the uterine myometrium, separate from the uterine cavity and fallopian tubes. In an ovarian ectopic pregnancy, a gestational sac with a thick hyperechoic circumferential rim is located in or on the ovarian parenchyma. An intraperitoneal gestational sac is present in an abdominal ectopic pregnancy. Intra- and extrauterine gestational sacs are seen in a heterotopic pregnancy. Two adnexal heartbeats suggest a live twin ectopic pregnancy. Recognition of the specific US features will help radiologists diagnose these uncommon types of ectopic pregnancy.
