Résumé
Abdominal pain in the pregnant adolescent presents a diagnostic dilemma with potential life-threatening etiologies. We present a case where point-of-care ultrasound was used to facilitate diagnosis and expedite lifesaving management of a ruptured ectopic pregnancy. We further review the technique and literature for first-trimester transabdominal point-of-care ultrasound.
