    Advanced extra-uterine pregnancy can result in fetal survival outside the amniotic sac. This case demonstrates a normal infant delivery 65 hours post-membrane rupture in abdominal pregnancy.

    Area of Science:

    • Reproductive Medicine
    • Maternal-Fetal Medicine
    • Surgical Obstetrics

    Background:

    • Advanced extra-uterine pregnancy typically involves the fetus enclosed within fetal membranes and amniotic fluid.
    • Intra-abdominal survival of the fetus outside the amniotic sac is a rare but documented phenomenon.

    Observation:

    • A case of advanced abdominal pregnancy is presented.
    • The fetus survived intra-abdominally for a significant period after membrane rupture.

    Findings:

    • A normal infant was successfully delivered 65 hours after the rupture of the fetal membranes.
    • This extended survival highlights fetal resilience in challenging ectopic pregnancy scenarios.

    Implications:

    • This case expands the understanding of fetal viability in advanced abdominal pregnancies.

  • It underscores the importance of considering delayed intervention in select cases of ruptured ectopic pregnancies.
  • Further research into fetal physiological adaptation in abdominal pregnancies is warranted.
