Résumé
We describe a case of a woman in her mid-30s who presented to a tertiary level maternity hospital 17 days following early medical abortion with a positive pregnancy test. On the ultrasound examination, it was discovered that she had a second trimester ectopic pregnancy which was treated surgically with a unilateral salpingectomy. We discuss in depth factors related to this woman's care, such as appropriate assessment and evaluation of early medical abortion cases, the diagnostic challenges of early pregnancy scanning as well as the implications of the COVID-19 pandemic on the provision of care in these scenarios, and how this affected this woman's care.
