Abdominal Pregnancy at Advanced Gestational Age in Lagos, Nigeria

Abstract

Abdominal ectopic pregnancy is an uncommon form of ectopic pregnancy with few cases reported in Nigeria. We present a case report of abdominal ectopic pregnancy with haemoperitoneum in an unbooked multipara at advanced gestational age. She subsequently had an emergency exploratory laparotomy and right salpingectomy. Diagnosis of this condition can be challenging due to non-specific clinical symptoms, while definitive management can also pose a challenge due to the site of placental attachment.
