Abstract

Ectopic pregnancy (EG) occurs in an extrauterine location for several causes, characterizing the highest rates of maternal mortality in the first gestational trimester and in many cases, requires surgical and / or emergency treatment. The present study reflects on its occurrence after emergency oral contraceptive use. The importance of adherence to family planning, early diagnosis, greater knowledge by users and partners, and attention by health professionals to promote more effective guidance and assistance were highlighted.
