Abstract

Abdominal pregnancy is a very rare case consisting 1.3% of ectopic pregnancy and occurring once in the 372-9714 of normal pregnancy. An early, pre-operative, ultrasonographic diagnosis of an abdominal pregnancy was made and successfully treated by laparoscopy in an asymptomatic woman with an 8-weeks abdominal pregnancy. The early, ultrasonographic diagnosis allowed an easy, mini-invasive, endoscopic treatment of the potentially life threatening pregnancy. We report the case and brief of lecture.
