Abstract

Threatened abortion is one of the most common complications of early pregnancy. In the presence of a live embryo, the most frequently encountered sonographic finding is a subchorionic hematoma. Resent studies suggest that the presence of intrauterine hematoma during the first trimester may identify a population of patients at increased risk for adverse pregnancy outcome. In the review the etiology, pathogenesis of subchorionic hematoma and diagnostic and treatment management of patients with such pregnancy complication are described.
