Abstract

Elfakir S, Zouita B, Basraoui D and Hicham Jalal

We report a case of full term abdominal pregnancy with healthy newborn. This is a rare variety of ectopics pregnancies whose evolution to the end remains exceptional. It is unique to developing countries with a high incidence of genital infections and poor pregnancy monitoring. It is associated with significant perinatal mortality because of fetal malformations and maternal morbidity related to hemorrhagic, infectious and occlusive risk. Ultrasound is almost unavoidable for positive diagnosis supplemented by magnetic resonance imaging detecting fetal malformations and allowing a better analysis of placental relations with the abdominal organs; decisive elements to optimize the care of the parturient.
