“…El peso al nacer fue descrito en 51 de los casos con un promedio 1841 ± 882,63 g. Dos de los recién nacidos sufrieron deformaciones de las extremidades por bandas amnióticas y omentales (14,17). Se identificaron cinco casos de anomalías congénitas o características dismórficas (talipes, asimetría facial y contracturas de extremidades), de los cuales tres murieron y uno cursó con restricción de crecimiento intrauterino (RCIU) severo (15,26,29,31,33,49). Las puntuaciones de APGAR se documentaron en 17 casos con un promedio de 6,5 al primer minuto y 8,3 a los 5 minutos (13-18, 30-33, 36, 37, 40, 47, 51, 54).…”

RepoRte de caso Rev Colomb Obstet Ginecol 2017;68:71-82 RESUMENObjetivo: reportar dos casos de embarazo ectópico abdominal avanzado, con buen resultado materno / perinatal, y revisar la literatura disponible con respecto al manejo de la placenta y el pronóstico de esta entidad. Materiales y métodos: se describen dos casos de embarazo ectópico abdominal avanzado en los que se realizó extracción de la placenta, con feto viable y resultado perinatal favorable. Estos fueron atendidos en una institución de cuarto nivel de complejidad, Recibido: junio 14/16 -Aceptado: marzo 3/17 ubicada en la ciudad de Cali, Colombia. Se realizó una revisión de la literatura registrada en las bases de datos Medline vía PubMed, con los términos de búsqueda: "embarazo abdominal", "embarazo esplénico", "embarazo hepático", "embarazo omental" y "embarazo peritoneal". La búsqueda se limitó a artículos publicados durante los últimos doce años en inglés y español. Resultados: se recuperaron 228 referencias, de las cuales 42 artículos cumplieron con los criterios de inclusión que informan un total de 74 pacientes con embarazo ectópico abdominal. En cuanto al manejo de la placenta, la remoción de la misma se informó en 42 casos (58%). La mortalidad materna se presentó en 4 casos (4,1%), todos por hemorragia posparto. Un total de 60 pacientes (81%) presentaron complicaciones, la más frecuente fue hemorragia en 38 de ellas (51%). En cuanto al resultado perinatal, se encontró una mortalidad perinatal del 43%. Conclusión: el manejo de la placenta es el punto clave del que podría depender la frecuencia de complicaciones maternas. Se requieren estudios prospectivos que evalúen el manejo más seguro y efectivo de esta condición. Palabras clave: embarazo abdominal, embarazo ectópico, hemorragia, resultado del embarazo. ABSTRACTObjective: Report two cases of advanced ectopic abdominal pregnancy with good maternal/perinatal outcomes, and to review the literature available regarding the management of the placenta and the prognosis for this condition. Materials and methods: Description of two cases of advanced ectopic abdominal pregnancies with viable fetuses and favourable perinatal outcomes, in which the placenta was removed. The cases were seen at a Level IV institution in the city of Cali, Colombia. Review of the literature registered in the Medline data base via Pubmed using the search terms "abdominal pregnancy", "splenic pregnancy", "hepatic pregnancy", "omental pregnancy" and "peritoneal pregnancy". The search was limited to articles published in English and Spanish during the past 12 years. Results: Overall, 228 references were retrieved, of which 42 articles reporting on a total of 74 patients with ectopic abdominal pregnancy met the inclusion criteria. Regarding the management of the placenta, it was removed in 42 cases (58%). There were 4 cases of maternal mortality (4,1%) all of them due to postpartum bleeding. Complications occurred in 60 patients (81%), bleeding being the most frequent in 38 of them (51%). As for perinatal outcome, peri...

“…It is often overlooked during prenatal consultations and despite the routine use of ultrasound 14 . The diagnosis of abdominal pregnancy before the sixth month of pregnancy is rare in developing countries where health centers are under-equipped; resulting in high perinatal mortality and high maternal morbidity (severe haemorrhage, bowel obstruction, infection) 4 . The clinical manifestations of abdominal pregnancy vary and depend on the seat and gestational age at diagnosis.…”

“…Despite this important difference of incidences between poor and rich countries, abdominal pregnancy represents almost the same proportions of ectopic pregnancies in both settings: 1.5% (Gabon) and 1.4% (United States of America) respectively [11]. It is often associated with high maternal mortality because of late presentation, missed preoperative diagnosis and difficult intra-operative and post-operative management [12] [13].…”

Abdominal pregnancies are rare; however, they are still frequently missed pre-operatively. This presents diagnostic and treatment dilemma especially in resource-constrained settings where CT-scan and MRI are not readily available for accurate diagnosis. Five cases of abdominal pregnancies were managed over an eighteen-year period. In 2 cases, the condition was diagnosed preoperatively. The age range of the patients was from 32 to 36 years with a mean of 32.4 years. All 5 patients recovered fully; 4 required at least 2 units of blood transfusion; the placenta was left behind in 1 case; 1 required methotrexate to enhance placental resorption. One patient had recurrent intestinal obstruction and eventually had laparotomy and release of thick bands of adhesion. Two patients had conceived at least once each following treatment. Abdominal pregnancies present serious diagnostic and management dilemma especially in low resource settings. A high index of suspicion and prompt laparotomy can be life-saving. There is little information known about future fertility after abdominal pregnancy.
