Abstract
Abdominal pregnancy (AP) is defined as the implantation and the development of the fertilized egg in the peritoneal cavity. It is a rare type of ectopic pregnancy, whose detection can be fortuitous, mimicking surgical emergency. We report a rare case of acute febrile bowel obstruction revealing abdominal pregnancy in a 27-year old patient, with no particular past medical history, admitted to hospital for the treatment of occlusive syndrome evolving over the last week. Physical examination showed shiny, distended, meteoric, completely sensitive abdomen. Laboratory tests showed white blood cell count 20300, haemoglobin 7,2g/dL. Surgical exploration showed hemoperitoneum 2000ml, retrouterine encapsulated mass, strongly adherent to the mesosigmoid and to the sigmoid, responsible of a stenosis of the descending colon. The patient underwent monobloc exeresis, which showed a portion of placenta next to the mesosigmoid attached to the fetus, right annexectomy and colostomy.Entities:
