An early pregnancy associated with corpus luteum cyst.
Incorrect. While a corpus luteum cyst may cause some discomfort, the pain
experienced by Hanna is too severe. The spotting also suggests something more
sinister is going on.
An
inevitable abortion
Correct. This is a differential diagnosis. An inevitable abortion can
cause bleeding and pain, although not usually unilateral.
An
ectopic pregnancy
Correct. The pathognomonic trait of amenorrhoea, followed by abnormal
bleeding and pain, should always suggest the possibility of an ectopic.
An
incomplete miscarriage
Incorrect. Incomplete miscarriage usually is diagnosed when products of
conception have been passed.
