“…Suspicion of abdominal pregnancy is increased by the presence of symptoms like abdominal pain with a positive pregnancy test. In the second and third trimesters, ultrasound usually shows no uterine wall surrounding the fetus, fetal parts that are very close to the abdominal wall, abnormal lie and/or no amniotic fluid between the placenta and the fetus [3]. Unfortunately, ultrasound may not be as helpful at more advanced gestational ages [10] like in the current case, where neither clinical assessment nor ultrasound made the diagnosis.…”

“…Abdominal pregnancies may progress uneventfully to an advanced stage, particularly in resource-limited countries [9] but they rarely reach term [3,10]. Possible factors believed to contribute to fetal survival include the site of implantation and availability of adequate vascular supply [3].…”

“…Abdominal implantation of a pregnancy is uncommon, accounting for 1.4% of all ectopic pregnancies and with a reported range of 1:10000 to 1:30000 pregnancies [1][2][3]. Abdominal pregnancies have been reported in several contexts in both high-income countries as well as lowand middle-income countries.…”

“…With increasing gestational age, maternal complications can occur at any time in the antepartum, peripartum or postpartum periods. These complications include spontaneous separation of the placenta leading to massive haemorrhage, shock, disseminated intravascular coagulation [3], organ failure, and death. Also, attempts to remove the placenta may cause uncontrollable, catastrophic bleeding leading to maternal death.…”

“…After delivery, an in-situ placenta may not resorb, and infection may develop from its necrosis. However, good maternal and fetal outcomes have also been documented at a range of gestational ages from 31 weeks [6][7][8] to 39 weeks [3,5].…”

Background: Abdominal pregnancies have been reported in both high-income countries as well as low-and middle-income countries. They are frequently missed in routine antenatal care in resource-limited settings and delayed diagnosis is usually associated with poor fetal and maternal outcomes including death. This case report is among the first from eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), a post-conflict region. Case presentation: In this case study, we present a 25 year-old primigravida patient referred to HEAL Africa hospital for management of an acute abdomen at 33-weeks gestation. Her chief complaint was severe abdominal pain associated with each fetal movement for a period of 1 week prior to admission. A diagnosis of peritonitis was made. Emergency laparotomy revealed a normal live 2 kg baby with placental implantation on the greater omentum and small intestine mesentery. The placenta was not removed. Both maternal and fetal outcomes were good. Conclusion: Abdominal pregnancy with a normal live fetus at such an advanced gestational age is rare. This case reminds clinicians that abdominal pregnancy remains a differential diagnosis for painful fetal movements.

This case report describes the presentation, diagnosis, and surgical management of a rare vesical ectopic pregnancy in a 36‐year‐old woman with a history of multiple cesarean sections. The patient presented with symptoms of suprapubic pain, fever, and amenorrhea. An initial ultrasound indicated retained products of conception, leading to a preliminary diagnosis of septic miscarriage. However, subsequent rescanning revealed an empty uterus and a non‐viable fetus within the bladder, connected to the uterine cavity. Cystoscopy confirmed the presence of fetal parts inside the bladder. Finally, a laparotomy was performed and the fetus was removed from the bladder with repair of the underlying uterovesical fistula. An uneventful postoperative period ensued. The literature review revealed only four previously reported cases with similar overall presentations. This case highlights the importance of considering vesical ectopic pregnancies in patients with a history of cesarean sections and unusual symptoms, as prompt surgical intervention is crucial for ensuring successful management of the condition.
