- Differential diagnosis of an abnormally eccentric gestational sac
An eccentrically-located gestational sac towards the fundus of the uterus is the normal sonographic appearance, however, an abnormally eccentric gestational sac on ultrasound may be apparent due to a number of causes:
-
normally implanted pregnancy in a
displacement by a uterine leiomyoma or other myometrial mass
a focal myometrial contraction at the time of scanning
far lateral intrauterine pregnancy
