Patient's question:
NoDoctor's answer:
An empty gestational sac is an abnormality in embryonic development, usually caused by chromosomal abnormalities. The absence of a fetal sac or embryonic bud (an empty amniotic sac) is common in cases where both partners have chromosomal issues or problems with sperm or egg development. An empty sac merely indicates that fetal development has stopped! To determine whether the fetus is developing normally, it is recommended to undergo an ultrasound examination at the hospital.
