“…The 15 abdominal pregnancies [2,24,36,37,44,80,116,117,119,120,121,122,123,124] of the bowel and appendix were treated mainly by laparotomy except 2 cases successfully treated with laparoscopy alone [37,116]. The average maternal age was 32 with a parity of 1.46 and gestational age of 7 weeks 4 days.…”

Objective: To define abdominal ectopic pregnancy outcomes by both location and treatment. Methods: Literature review of abdominal pregnancies from 1965 to August of 2009. Ectopic pregnancy exclusions were interstitial, tubal, cervical, ovarian, or those beyond 20 weeks at diagnosis/treatment. Results: There were 511 cases identified with 225 meeting the inclusion criteria. There were 7 maternal deaths (3.0%) with 18 (8%) of the early abdominal ectopic pregnancies occurring with an intrauterine device in place. Mean gestational age at the time of treatment was 10 weeks 0 days and mean maternal age was 29.7 years. The average blood loss associated with treatment was 1,450 ml. The top three sites of early abdominal ectopic pregnancies were pouches around the uterus (24.3%), serosal surface of the uterus and tubes (23.9%), and multiple sites (12.8%). Primary surgical management was performed in 208 cases (87.8%). Nonsurgical adjuvant or primary therapy included intramuscular methotrexate, intralesional methotrexate, intracardiac KCl, and artery embolization. Conclusion: Abdominal pregnancies should be considered in all patients until an intrauterine location can be confirmed. Understanding treatment options by pregnancy location may be helpful in the management of this potentially life-threatening condition.

“…The average maternal age was 32 with a parity of 1.46 and gestational age of 7 weeks 4 days. Five patients were transfused [117,118,119,123,124] with an average blood loss of 1,160 ml. Two patients had an IUD in place [36,123].…”

“…Approximately twenty cases of PAP have been reported in the world literature, mostly located on the omentum, but only four cases of sigmoid implantation [3,7,8 ] of which only two were treated by laparoscopy as in our case [3]. The majority of AP is located in the pelvic area, but some cases have reported AP on the liver and spleen [9,10,4].…”

“…A pregnancy in the liver, sigmoid colon, spleen, diaphragm, pancreas, obturator foramen, peritoneum of pelvis have also been reported. 3,4 Laparotomy for abdominal pregnancy is among the most difficult and dangerous operations as severe uncontrollable hemorrhage occurs during the separation of placenta. 5 This is a case report of a broad ligament pregnancy diagnosed during laparotomy following a failed medical termination of pregnancy.…”

Abdominal pregnancy is a rare obstetric condition seen by the obstetricians. Its diagnosis is usually difficult and management is a matter of debate. A 39-year-old multigravida with 20 weeks gestation complicated by pregnancy-induced hypertension, diabetes mellitus and anemia with previous cesarean section was admitted. She was not aware of her pregnancy earlier and she desired termination of pregnancy. But, termination of pregnancy failed inspite of using all possible methods of inducing labor. Diagnosis of abdominal pregnancy was made on by transvaginal ultrasound and proceeded with laparotomy. Left broad ligament pregnancy was found and the sac with fetus extracted. However, due to uncontrollable bleeding from broad ligament during placenta separation and hysterectomy was proceeded in this lady. We present our experience with the diagnosis and management of this rare case.
