Abstract

The Abdominal pregnancy is defined as the establishment and development of the egg, fertilized partially or entirely in the abdominal cavity, in a primary or generally secondary way. This is a rare event in the evolution of pregnancy since it accounts for only 1% of the ectopic ovular locations. The goal is to present its pathophysiological and clinical aspects, the complications and the principles taken into account in order to think of evoking this experience so as not to discover it during a very serious complication or per operating. We reported a case of evolutionary abdominal pregnancy diagnosed to 18 SA in 22 years old patient without particular pathological antecedents. The echography and the nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) confirmed the diagnosis. The processing was surgical and the post operative consequences were simple.
