Abdominal pregnancy, a rare ectopic pregnancy, was carried to full term. This case highlights the importance of early ultrasound detection for improved maternal and fetal outcomes in high-risk pregnancies.

Area of Science:

  • Obstetrics and Gynecology
  • Reproductive Medicine
  • Maternal-Fetal Medicine

Background:

  • Abdominal pregnancy is a rare ectopic pregnancy, more common in developing nations.
  • Early diagnosis is crucial for managing this high-risk condition.
  • Standard prenatal care includes regular ultrasonographic surveillance.

Observation:

  • A case of abdominal pregnancy reaching full term is presented.
  • The diagnosis was incidentally made during a cesarean section for placenta accreta.
  • This late discovery is unusual despite advanced clinical and ultrasonographic monitoring.

Findings:

  • The study emphasizes the critical role of first-quarter echography in localizing the gestational sac.
  • Endovaginal ultrasound is highlighted as a valuable tool for early and accurate diagnosis.

  • Timely identification can prevent severe maternal complications.

    • Implications:

    • Improved diagnostic protocols incorporating detailed early ultrasounds are recommended.
    • Enhanced surveillance may reduce the incidence of undiagnosed abdominal pregnancies.
    • This case underscores the need for vigilance in prenatal diagnostics, even with routine monitoring.
