Abstract

We report ultrasonographic features of interstitial pregnancy and propose three magnetic resonance imaging criteria for the interstitial pregnancy localization. These criteria may facilitate the differentiation between an interstitial pregnancy and an angular pregnancy. The magnetic resonance imaging may be used whenever ultrasound examination diagnosis of an interstitial pregnancy is equivocal.
