Abdominal pregnancy is a rare form of ectopic pregnancy, in which the fertilized egg implants and develops in the abdominal cavity. Diagnosis and management are difficult. We report the case of a 31 year-old female accountant referred from a local clinic for abdominal pregnancy in the context of 10 years of primary infertility. Despite the presence of suggestive signs and the number of ultrasounds performed, it was not until the 29th and 31st weeks that the diagnosis of abdominal pregnancy was made. We performed a laparotomy at 37 weeks and extracted a healthy live infant. Fetal extraction led to placental intrusion, the after-effects of which were enamelled with haemorrhagic complications originating from the placenta. These led to a right adnexectomy removing the placenta after an unsuccessful attempt to stop the abundant haemorrhage originating from the placenta. The immediate post-operative course was straightforward, with the patient discharged on the third post-operative day and the newborn well. The importance of this case is to underline the delay in making the diagnosis of abdominal pregnancy in our environment, despite the more frequent use of ultrasound and the possibility of full-term delivery of a healthy child. Conclusion: Abdominal pregnancy is a rare event. It is difficult to diagnose, and a conservative attitude to pregnancy is possible.
