The cervix is open, and a 9 week old fetus is seen within the lower uterine segment. There was no fetal cardiac activity (cardiac trace not shown).
Case Discussion
Selected views of the lower uterine segment demonstrate a miscarriage in progress at the level of the cervix (inevitable miscarriage). An important differential to exclude is a cervical ectopic, and in some cases serial ultrasound and beta hCG followup may be necessary.
