[A new case of abdominal pregnancy].

The authors report a case of abdominal pregnancy that reached term. This type of pregnancy is now rare except in developing countries due to lack of early diagnosis. Ultrasonography is useful to confirm a clinically suspected diagnosis. MRI is helpful to further characterize the relation between placental tissue and intra-abdominal organs. Prognosis for the fetus is usually poor, and risks to the mother are non-negligible. Management is typically surgical and placental resection is the main concern. In this case, surgical delivery of an otherwise normal appearing infant was performed.
