[A successfully completed abdominal pregnancy].

The first pregnancy of a 22-year-old woman with somewhat more pronounced and prolonged symptoms of emersis gravidarum was followed up in the outpatient unit and was considered normal. The woman was admitted to the maternity ward 38 days before the term of labour because of painful abdominal cramps, vomiting and weakness. In the course of the first 17 days in hospital, the pregnancy was maintained by the use of spasmolytics but at that time it became clear on the basis of the symptoms, gynecological findings, and the gravidogram, that the case related to abdominal pregnancy. On the 18th day of hospitalization, laparotomy ws performed and a live, female, prematurely born baby, 2,450 g/45 cm, without any deformity, was delivered. The pregnancy was abdominal, with the nidation of the placenta at the right uterine horn. The placenta was completely removed. The girl is now 6 years old and her psychophysical development is normal, corresponding to her age.
