Abstract

LEITE, Tatiana Semedo; ALMEIDA, Diana de Castro; VISEU, Olga  and  DIAS, João. Is it really an adnexal ectopic pregnancy?: An atypical presentation. Acta Obstet Ginecol Port [online]. 2018, vol.12, n.3, pp.220-223. ISSN 1646-5830.

Ectopic pregnancy, a potentially life-threatening condition, represents 1-2% of all pregnancies. Tubal pregnancy represents about 95% of the cases, but other locations can occur such as ovary, uterine cervix and abdominal cavity. Abdominal pregnancy is a rare event, seen in about 1.3% of ectopic pregnancies. We present a case of abdominal pregnancy located at the Douglas pouch and superficially infiltrated the rectovaginal septum in a woman under intra-uterine device contraception.

Keywords : Ectopic pregnancy; Abdominal pregnancy.
