Description
Abdominal pregnancy is a rare type of ectopic pregnancy that implants in the peritoneal cavity, other than the
fallopian tube & ovary. It is very difficult to diagnose both clinically & radiologically in early gestational period. Cases
described in the literature were diagnosed in late gestational period.
The present case was of a young female who presented with intermittent, lower abdominal pain, abnormal foetal
movements with a history of abnormal foetal position on clinical examination. On antenatal sonography, a live foetus of
18-19 weeks was seen outside the uterus in peritoneal cavity.
