Abdominal ectopic pregnancy with a live fetus in Bié Provincial Hospital, Angola. Medicentro Electrónica [online]. 2023, vol.27, n.1, e3052.  Epub Jan 01, 2023. ISSN 1029-3043.

The embryo, under normal conditions, is conceived into the fallopian tube and migrates to the uterus. A small percentage of the embryos that do not complete this migration become an ectopic pregnancy. We present a 32-year-old female patient with multiple gestation pregnancies and 4 normal term deliveries who had an abdominal ectopic pregnancy with a live fetus. She was referred to Bié Provincial Hospital at 37 weeks’ gestation due to diffuse abdominal pain of moderate intensity, which was exacerbated by fetal movements. A cesarean section was performed; an abdominal ectopic pregnancy with a live fetus and the placenta implanted in the uterine fundus, omentum, and transverse colon was found. The placenta was left in situ for further follow-up.

Keywords : pregnancy, ectopic; pregnancy, abdominal; cesarean section.
