Abdominal pregnancy diagnosed by ultrasonography and treated successfully by laparotomy: Two cases report.

INTRODUCTION

Abdominal pregnancy is one of the rare types of ectopic pregnancies that has a high rate of mortality. Its clinical presentation is similar to those of the other types of ectopic pregnancies.

CASES PRESENTATION: we report two cases of abdominal pregnancies whose the diagnosis was made by ultra-sonography and successfully treated by laparotomy in emergency obstetrical department of Ibn Rochd University Hospital of Casablanca. CLINICAL DISCUSSION: the ultra-sonography based on precise criteria represents the fundamental paraclinical examination in the diagnosis of abdominal pregnancies. The treatment of early form is based on surgery; And despite the advent of laparoscopic surgery, laparotomy retains its indications including forms with hemorrhagic shock.

CONCLUSION

Due to the high risk of complications and maternal mortality, abdominal pregnancies should be surgically treated as soon as possible when the diagnosis is confirmed.
