    • Abdominal pregnancy is a rare ectopic gestation with significant maternal morbidity and mortality.
    • Early and accurate diagnosis is crucial to prevent life-threatening hemorrhage due to placental separation.

    Observation:

    • A case of advanced abdominal pregnancy is presented.
    • The fetus, deceased at 26 weeks, underwent mummification.
    • Spontaneous fetal division occurred, with the lower segment extruding through the intestines.

    Findings:

    • Surgical intervention (laparotomy) was required to remove the remaining fetal parts and a portion of the placenta.
    • The patient underwent intestinal stoma closure following the procedure.
    • The postoperative recovery was uneventful.

    Implications:

    • This case underscores the unpredictable complications of abdominal pregnancy.
    • Highlights the importance of surgical expertise in managing complex ectopic gestations.
    • Emphasizes the need for vigilance in diagnosing and managing rare obstetric emergencies.
