Abstract
The authors report a case of a 27-year-old female who was diagnosed as having a ruptured ectopic pregnancy approximately 12 hours after an elective termination of an intrauterine pregnancy (IUP) was performed. Multiple previous evaluations by an obstetrician for a chief complaint of abdominal pain revealed an IUP but did not disclose the underlying pathology. The ectopic pregnancy was identified by the emergency physician's use of ultrasound in the emergency department.
