摘要
Abdominal pregnancies are rare, representing 1% of all ectopic pregnancies. Early and accurate diagnosis is essential in order to avoid the serious complications associated with the condition, including catastrophic hemorrhage secondary to placental separation. The clinical presentation of abdominal pregnancy is extremely variable and physical examination by itself may be insufficient for diagnosis. Ultrasound (US) is currently the imaging method of choice for establishing gestational location, but sonographic interpretation may be difficult due to gas within the gastrointestinal tract and distorted pelvic anatomy. The use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in obstetric diagnosis, including abdominal pregnancy, has been described. We report a case of an abdominal pregnancy of 32 wk gestation diagnosed by MRI. © 1990.
