Summary
The outcome of 141 cases of bleeding in the first trimester of pregnancy has been correlated wit the findings obtained at the first and subsequent ultrasonic examinations. In 66 patients who aborted the ultrasonic appearances suggested a diagnosis of blighted ovum in 57. In 10 of the 75 patients in whom pregnancy continued the ultrasonic appearance was abnormal on at least one occasion.
