Abstract
Clinical history and pelvic examination are inadequate in assessing the cause and the prognosis. Ultrasound (both trans-abdominal and transvaginal sonography) plays an important role in the evaluation of the causes of the first trimester bleeding, prognosticate and predict the status of abnormal pregnancy. We studied 50 cases of pregnant women who presented with bleeding per vaginum during the first trimester between January 2010 to July 2011. All patients referred to the Dept of Radio diagnosis with history of first trimester bleeding were evaluated with clinical history, clinical examination and ultrasonography as per standard proforma. On ultrasound examination, 28 cases (56%) out of 50 showed Gestational sac out of which 18 cases were of threatened abortion. Out of 21 cases in which Fetal node was visualized, 18 cases showed fetal cardiac activity. 2 cases with absent fetal cardiac activity were diagnosed as inevitable abortion and one case as missed abortion Ultrasound is a non- invasive, non- ionizing, without any proven harmful effects on the developing fetus and easily available method of investigation to assess the patients with first trimester bleeding.
