ABSTRACT

Background: Abdominal pregnancy represents 1% of ectopic pregnancies, with a maternal mortality that can reach up to 20% and a fetal mortality of up to 90%.
Clinical case: 31-year-old female patient, in the course of 39 weeks of her second pregnancy. The first pregnancy was attended, without complications, at home when she was 25 years old; she was immediately prescribed quarterly injectable medroxyprogesterone acetate as a contraceptive method. She went to the Regional Teaching Hospital of Cajamarca due to abdominal pain after seven prenatal check-ups. She was admitted to the obstetrics service on the third day with prodromes of labor, transverse fetus and placenta previa. In the emergency cesarean section the uterus was found to be 18 cm, the placenta adhered to the omentum, intestine, sigmoid colon, rectum and left wall of the uterus. A newborn was obtained with Apgar 8-9, without malformations. Placental extraction, subtotal abdominal hysterectomy and left salpingo-oophorectomy were performed. Intraoperative bleeding was 1800 mL, which required the transfusion of two packs of red blood cells. The mother and daughter evolved favorably and were discharged from the hospital without complications.
Conclusion: Abdominal pregnancy is a rare event, especially if it is carried to term with a healthy live newborn. Despite ultrasonographic studies, abdominal pregnancy is not easily diagnosed; therefore almost all are diagnosed during surgery. If the placenta does not affect extensive vascular structures or abdominopelvic organs, it can be removed, with extreme care, so as not to cause greater harm.
