UNLABELLED INTRODUCTION Advanced abdominal (extrauterine) pregnancy is a rare condition with high maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality. Because the placentation in advanced abdominal pregnancy is presumed to be inadequate, advanced abdominal pregnancy can be complicated by pre-eclampsia, which is another condition with high maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality. Diagnosis and ...

Advanced extrauterine pregnancy with a successful outcome is a rare event. A case is presented of a 34-year-old woman at 35 weeks gestation whose abdominal pregnancy was successfully managed. The diagnostic and management problems associated with abdominal pregnancy are discussed, and especially the controversial issues of the treatment of the placenta after delivery. The reasons for the high m...

We report on an abdominal pregnancy that presented as a missed abortion at 16 weeks' gestation and review the literature on the management of abdominal pregnancy. The clinical presentation of abdominal pregnancy varies, and the diagnosis depends on a high index of suspicion. Ultrasonography is useful for early diagnosis of the condition. The management depends on the gestation at presentation; ...

Abdominal pregnancy is very rare. Compared to normal and ectopic pregnancies, it has a higher maternal mortality, perinatal mortality and morbidity. We report the case of a 32-year-old G4P1 female of extra peritoneal ectopic pregnancy. There was a past history of tubal pregnancy on the right side in Dec 2012 and she was treated completely by an abdominal salpingectomy. The patient was again dia...
