 | | Differences in gestational ages can influence the outcome, as medical treatment is more effective in earlier gestations. | | | 2001;80(8):744-749 Summary Methotrexate treatment is a safe and effective alternative to surgical treatment for well-selected patients with unruptured ectopic gestation. This prospective study evaluated clinical and pregnancy outcome after conservative medical or surgical management of ectopic gestation.
| | | The gestational ages, as determined by ultrasound, were not known in the 2 groups. |

| | Preliminary results of our study suggest that characterization of early gestational loss must be complemented with cytogenetic studies, as an important diagnostic tool for the clinician specially when an empty sac is detected. | | | Gestational age for analysis was the one reported by ultrasound which reflects the moment of embryo or chorioplacental membranes growth arrest. | | | An empty sac very likely corresponds to an early embryonic death after implantation (Jauniaux et al., 1994; Jauniaux and Jaffe, 1997); consequently, the term anembryonic has been considered as an erroneous way to define this condition. |

| | eMedicine - Missed Abortion : Article by James L Lindsey, MD |
| | The gestation is termed a missed abortion only if the diagnosis of incomplete abortion or inevitable abortion is excluded (ie, the cervical os is closed). | | | Causes include anembryonic gestation (blighted ovum), fetal chromosomal abnormalities, maternal disease, embryonic anomalies, placental abnormalities, and uterine anomalies. | | | This can manifest as an anembryonic gestation (empty sac or blighted ovum) or with fetal demise prior to 20 weeks' gestation. |

| | OB-GYN-L Messages for January, 1996: Re: Risk for Rh sensitization |
| | As an embryo doesn't express the blood group until about the same stage as the heart beat is seen on ultrasound scan, then pregnancies which don't reach this point don't (theoretically) warrant anti-D. As a blighted ovum doesn't even reflect an embryo(= anembryonic gestation), anti-D shouldn't be needed. | | | Recently I evacuated a patient of a blighted ovum at 13 weeks gestation. |

| | Anembryonic gestation |
| | Evidence supporting the diagnosis of anembryonic gestation would be a clinical history of a more advanced gestational age than what is seen, the presence of bleeding and cramping, or abnormalities of the gestational sac itself. | | | Anembryonic gestation is suspected if no yolk sac is seen when the gestational sac has reached a mean diameter of > 10 mm, or when no fetal pole is seen when the gestational sac is greater than 18 mm in mean diameter. | | | An anembryonic gestation is one in which a visible embryo never develops within the gestational sac. |

| | OB/GYN News: Vaginal misoprostol for early failed pregnancy |
| | The more tissue present, the higher the success rate; surgical intervention is less often needed for embryonic or fetal demise and incomplete abortion than for anembryonic gestations. | | | The results were less impressive for anembryonic gestation," Dr. Westhoff said. | | | In a 2004 NIH pilot trial of vaginal misoprostol for anembryonic gestation and fetal/embryonic demise, a single application (repeated if necessary, after 48 hours) was successful (expulsion by 1 week, without the need for D and C) in 94% of 51 cases of embryonic/fetal demise, and in 69% of 29 anembryonic gestations. |

| | Blighted ovum |
| | or anembryonic gestation, refers to an ovum which has implanted but in which no embryo has developed. | | | The condition is diagnosed on ultrasound (US), based on finding a large gestational sac which does not contain an embryo. | | | Established criteria for the diagnosis of anembryonic gestation for transabdominal US are failure to identify an embryo in a gestational sac with a mean sac diameter of 20 mm or more. |

| | Anembryonic gestation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | An anembryonic gestation (aka blighted ovum) is a pregnancy in which a visible embryo never develops within a normal-appearing gestational sac, which likely occurs as a result of early embryonic death with continued development of the trophoblast. | | | A pregnancy is anembryonic if a transvaginal ultrasound reveals a sac with a mean gestational sac diameter (MGD) greater than 13mm and no yolk sac, or a MGD >18 mm with no embryo. | | | For diagnosis, the sac must be of sufficient size that the absence of normal embryonic elements is established. |

| | With this objective in mind, Dr. Zhang, at the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development in Bethesda, Maryland, and colleagues enrolled 652 women with an anembryonic gestation, embryonic or fetal death, or incomplete or inevitable spontaneous abortion during the first trimester. | | | While treatment with misoprostol for this indication has become increasingly popular, Dr. Jun Zhang and associates note in The New England Journal of Medicine for August 25th, there has yet to be a large, randomized trial evaluating its efficacy, safety and acceptability. | | | The 491 patients randomly assigned to misoprostol received 800 micrograms vaginally on day 1, with a second dose on day 3 if expulsion was incomplete. |

| | One in four women experience early pregnancy failure due to reasons such as spontaneous abortion, anembryonic gestation, and embryonic or fetal death. | | | The standard treatment involves scrapping the lining of the uterus to remove tissue, commonly known as dilatation and curettage, or D and C. Misoprostol or Cytotec -- a drug that causes uterine contractions -- has gained popularity due its prompt removal of pregnancy tissue. |

| | Anembryonic Gestation (blighted ovum) |
| | Most miscarriages result from an anembryonic gestation, which often has an abnormal karyotype. | | | If no yolk sac is seen with transvaginal ultrasound when the sac diameter has reached 10 mm, or if no fetal pole is seen when the sac measures 18 mm, a diagnosis of anembryonic gestation is very likely. | | | Even with these findings, it is often a good idea to repeat the ultrasound in a week to be absolutely sure of the diagnosis. |

| | The study involved 652 women with early pregnancy failure (due to anembryonic gestation, embryonic or foetal death, or incomplete or inevitable spontaneous abortion) who were randomised 3:1 to receive treatment with intravaginal misoprostol or vacuum aspiration (as the current standard of care). | | | If the first misoprostol dose was not completely effective, the dose was repeated on the third day; if this was ineffective, vacuum aspiration was used. | | | A randomised trial has shown that intravaginal misoprostol has a high success rate in early pregnancy failure and is well tolerated. |

| | The doctor said this is sometimes called "blighted ovum." The gestational sac was intact and growing at the rate it would have been if there were a fetus. | | | I had to have a D&C because at a term of eight weeks, I started spotting, and my OB found through vaginal ultrasound that I had "anembryonic gestation" -- a conception implanted with no growing fetus. | | | On ultrasound examination there is a gestational sac (2.5 cc or more) in which no fetal pole can be identified. |
