ABSTRACT: Abdominal
pregnancy is a life threat to both mother and fetus requiring surgery
regardless of the age of pregnancy. We report a case of abdominal pregnancy,
delivered by laparotomy with a live newborn. This is a 31-year-old woman with
34 weeks and 2 days of amenorrhea whose ultrasound showed an abdominal
pregnancy. Laparotomy extracted a newborn female weighing 3000 grams with APGAR
at birth rated at 7/10 at one minute. The postoperatives were simple. The
patient was discharged on the 14th postoperative day on 20 mg methrotrexate
injection once a week for four weeks.
