Term Abdominal Pregnancy with a Live Fetus Incidentally Found During Cesarean Section: A Case Report
This case report demonstrates the continuing challenges in early diagnosis and management of this serious obstetric condition. The rarity of the condition in general, and in low resource settings delayed antenatal care (ANC) booking of women, and lack of experience in meticulous ultrasound scanning, are challenges in making an accurate diagnosis. It is recommended that the location of pregnancy should be confirmed in early trimester, vague and nonspecific complaints should be addressed to rule out or rule in ectopic pregnancy.
