Madelungâs disease is sometimes misdiagnosed as sialadenitis, an inflammation of the salivary glands. The inflammation may involve any of the glands that make up the salivary gland system (parotid, submandibular and sublingual glands).
However, use of ultrasonographic imaging should never preclude adequate resuscitation or definitive surgical therapy in a patient who is hemodynamically unstable and in whom ectopic pregnancy is strongly suspected. The goal of bedside ultrasonography is to diagnose an intrauterine pregnancy (IUP). Ectopic pregnancy can be reliably excluded in patients with a demonstrated IUP; heterotopic pregnancy remains very rare in patients who are not taking fertility agents.
Best Answer: Ectopic pregnancy is most commonly used to describe a pregnancy where the fertilized egg implants in the fallopian tube rather than in the uterine wall; however, it can also describe a pregnancy that occurs anywhere outside of the uterine wall. This can include the ovaries,bowel, or abdomen. Where the pain is located depends on exactly where the fertilized egg has implanted, so the pain will not be in the same spot for every ectopic pregnancy. If it is a fallopian or ovarian pregnancy, pain will be in the pelvis on the affected side. Symptoms usually do not develop until about 2 months into the pregnancy.
