Abstract

We present a case of a 37-year-old woman who presented with acute right lower quadrant abdominal pain. Work up with contrast enhanced CT to rule out appendicitis revealed dramatic ring enhancing cystic structure in the right adnexa corresponding to tubal ring sign of ectopic pregnancy seen on subsequent pelvic ultrasound. Right tubal ectopic pregnancy was confirmed at surgery.

Keynote webinar | Spotlight on medication adherence

Live: Thursday 27th June 2024, 18:00-19:30 (CEST)

WHO estimates that half of all patients worldwide are non-adherent to their prescribed medication. The consequences of poor adherence can be catastrophic, on both the individual and population level.

Join our expert panel to discover why you need to understand the drivers of non-adherence in your patients, and how you can optimize medication adherence in your clinics to drastically improve patient outcomes.
