“…Abdominal -or peritoneal -pregnancy occurs in 1.4% [1] of all extrauterine pregnancies, with an incidence vary ing from 1:782 [2] to 1:50,820 [3] and a probable average incidence of 1:10,000-15,000 [4], Omental pregnancy is one of the most uncommon of the possible anatomic sites for abdominal pregnancy. Only 5 cases have been re ported so far in the literature [5][6][7][8].…”

Omental pregnancy is a rare form of abdominal pregnancy. In the 5 previously reported cases, primary implantation of the embryo to the omentum has been proposed as its etiology. We present a new case of omental pregnancy in a 31-year-old woman presenting with symptoms of ectopic pregnancy. After careful review of our case and the published literature in view of the accepted definition of primary abdominal pregnancy, we conclude that all reported instances of omental pregnancy are secondary and probably follow tubal or ovarian pregnancy abortion.

“…Both our cases and most others which have been reported had either talipes equinovarus or talipes calcaneovalgus, but these deformities are reported to be easily correctable, although there has been little long-term follow-up. More severe malformations include myelomeningocele (Golan et al 1985), ectromelia, complete absence of the lower limbs (Johnson 1967), microcephaly with cerebral palsy (Tan et al 1969), and absence of the mouth, arms and eyes (Cornell and Lash 1933).…”

“…Extrauterine pregnancy is rare, with a reported incidence ranging from 1 in 1100 (Du Toit and De Villiers 1961) to 1 in 50 000 pregnancies (Tan, Goon and Wee 1969), depending on race and other factors. The perinatal mortality is 85% to 95%; the maternal mortality rate is about 6% (Beacham et al 1962).…”

“…8 For advanced extrauterine pregnancies, there is a 10 to 25% chance of a livebirth. 9 However, 20 to 40% of livebirths will be malformed and only 50% will survive for longer than 1 week. 10 Furthermore, fetal malformations such as torticollis, facial asymmetry, malformation of limbs, flattening of the head, and malformation of the thorax may occur because of severe oligohydramnios in an extrauterine environment.…”

Abdominal pregnancy is a rare event but is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. The incidence of abdominal pregnancy is 1 in 10 000 live births. We report a case on an abdominal pregnancy that presented at 17 weeks of gestation and was not picked up till then on previous ultrasound reports and was eventually diagnosed when presented as missed abortion with placental hemorrhage.The clinical presentation of abdominal pregnancy varies, and the diagnosis depends on a high index of suspicion. Ultrasonography is useful for early diagnosis of the condition. The treatment of the placenta is a matter of controversy. In general, expectant management is suggested. When the placenta is left behind, the use of prophylactic methrotrexate is advocated in some cases although expectant management with serial B-hCG monitoring has also shown to result in subsequent placental shrinkage. An awareness of abdominal pregnancy is very important for reducing associated morbidity and mortality.
