📋Overview
This clinical condition involves the implantation of a fertilized egg in a location other than the lining of the uterus. Such a pregnancy cannot proceed normally because the growing tissue may cause damage to surrounding structures and lacks the necessary environment for fetal development. If left untreated, it can lead to life-threatening internal bleeding.
