Abstract

A 33 year old Caucasian lady presented to the gynaecology emergency unit with a seven week history of amenorrhoea and a three day history of left iliac fossa pain. This was a spontaneous conception and previously she had had two first trimester miscarriages following in vitro fertilisation (IVF). A hysterosalpinggram prior to her current pregnancy had suggested a non-patent left fallopian tube.
