Area of Science:

  • Reproductive Medicine
  • Surgical Gynecology

Background:

  • Abdominal pregnancy, a rare form of ectopic gestation, presents with varied symptoms including pain, bleeding, or asymptomatic cases.
  • Risk factors include prior ectopic pregnancies, cesarean section, smoking, pelvic inflammatory disease, IUD use, and assisted reproductive techniques (ARTs).
  • Diagnosing rectal ectopic pregnancy is challenging due to a lack of established criteria.

Observation:

  • A 25-year-old woman presented with severe abdominal pain and nausea.
  • Ultrasound revealed no intrauterine gestational sac but indicated abdominal fluid and clots.
  • Laparotomy confirmed placental and fetal tissue remnants on the anterior rectal wall.

Findings:

  • Rectal ectopic pregnancy can mimic gastrointestinal issues like nausea, vomiting, and constipation, alongside abdominal and pelvic pain.
  • This condition poses a high risk of severe bleeding and other life-threatening complications.

Implications:

  • Rectal ectopic pregnancy must be considered in differential diagnoses for patients with unexplained abdominal or pelvic symptoms.
  • Increased physician awareness is vital for early detection and effective management of this rare obstetric emergency.
