[Abdominal pregnancy]. / Vatsaonteloraskaus on diagnostinen haaste.

ABSTRACT

Abdominal pregnancy is a rare form of ectopic pregnancy with potentially life-threatening complications both to mother and the fetus. Due to infrequency of abdominal pregnancy, it is often unsuspected and remains a diagnostic challenge despite improvements in imaging techniques. We report a case of advanced abdominal pregnancy after in vitro-fertilization. The diagnosis was made by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) at 30 weeks' gestation, and a healthy baby was successfully delivered by laparotomy. The mother and the baby survived without any long-term complications.
