Abstract

Abdominal pregnancy (AP) is a rare and potentially dangerous type of ectopic pregnancy (EPs). In developed countries, AP is relatively uncommon. Authors present a case of a haemorrhagic abdominal pregnancy complicated by hypovolaemic shock at 15 weeks of amenorrhea with a positive result. The goal of this chapter is to describe the disease's epidemiological, clinical, therapeutic, and prognostic characteristics.
