使用左旋诺孕酮作为紧急避孕措施是预防意外妊娠的安全有效的措施。然而，在失败的情况下异位妊娠是一个已知的风险。在许多国家，在没有处方的情况下使用左旋诺孕酮，使得无法估计这一潜在不良事件的确切发生率。因此，自发报告病例有助于提醒医生注意这种可能性。我们报告一例使用左旋诺孕酮紧急避孕后的异位妊娠。据我们所知，这是2001年引入左旋诺孕酮紧急避孕措施后印度的第一例病例报告。(C)2009 Elsevier Inc.保留所有权利。
Use of levonorgestrel as emergency contraception is a safe and effective measure to prevent unwanted pregnancy. However, ectopic gestation in case of failure is a known risk. Access to levonorgestrel without a prescription in many countries has made it impossible to estimate the exact incidence of this potential adverse event. Thus, spontaneous reporting of cases serves to alert physicians to this possibility. We present a case of ectopic pregnancy following use of levonorgestrel emergency contraception. To our knowledge, this is the first case report from India following introduction of levonorgestrel emergency contraception in 2001. (C) 2009 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
