Abstract
An incidence of abdominal pregnancy is 1 in 10,000 live births accounting for 1.4% of all ectopic pregnancies. Abdominal pregnancy occurs due to secondary implantation from an aborted tubal pregnancy or as a result of intra-abdominal fertilization. Case Report: This is a rare case report of a 20-year-old primigravida who presented to our hospital at 38 weeks of gestation with advanced live intra-abdominal pregnancy. After confirming the diagnosis, the patient was taken up for emergency laparotomy and a live baby was extracted. Mother and baby were discharged in good health without any perioperative complications. Conclusion: The management of advanced abdominal pregnancy remains controversial. Diagnosis and management of advanced abdominal pregnancy is still a challenge to today's medical world. But high index of suspicion aided with imaging studies can help in timely diagnosis of this rare obstetrical occurrence thereby preventing the associated life-threatening complications.
