Ectopic Pregnancy in an Adolescent: A Case Report and Review of Literature

Abstract

Ectopic pregnancy continues to be the leading cause of death in the first trimester. Here, we report the case of a 17-year-old female who presented with vaginal bleeding and a positive serum beta-human chorionic gonadotropin level. In addition, we review the literature, focusing on the early diagnosis and management with the increasing preference for nonsurgical management of ectopic pregnancy, particularly in adolescents.
