Abdominal pregnancy is a rare form of ectopic pregnancy with high morbidity and mortality. There are a limited number of case reports of abdominal ectopic pregnancies. We present a case of a 29-year-old woman who presented to her obstetrician at 17 weeks' gestation with abdominal pain. A sonogram and confirmatory magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated an abdominal ectopic pregnancy. The patient underwent exploratory laparotomy with removal of the ectopic pregnancy. Our case presents an opportunity to discuss a rare form of ectopic pregnancy and the importance of proper diagnosis and treatment to reduce morbidity and mortality.
腹腔妊娠是一种罕见的异位妊娠形式,具有较高的发病率和死亡率。关于腹腔异位妊娠的病例报告数量有限。我们报告一例29岁女性病例,该患者在妊娠17周时因腹痛就诊于产科医生处。超声检查和确诊性磁共振成像显示为腹腔异位妊娠。患者接受了剖腹探查术并切除了异位妊娠物。我们的病例为讨论这种罕见的异位妊娠形式以及正确诊断和治疗以降低发病率和死亡率的重要性提供了一个契机。
