Abdominal pregnancy diagnosed by ultrasonography and treated successfully by laparotomy: Two cases report

INTRODUCTION: Abdominal pregnancy is one of the rare types of ectopic pregnancies that has a high rate of mortality. Its clinical presentation is similar to those of the other types of ectopic pregnancies. CASES PRESENTATION: we report two cases of abdominal pregnancies whose the diagnosis was made by ultra-sonography and successfully treated by laparotomy in emergency obstetrical department of Ibn Rochd University Hospital of Casablanca. CLINICAL DISCUSSION: the ultra-sonography based on precise criteria represents the fundamental paraclinical examination in the diagnosis of abdominal pregnancies. The treatment of early form is based on surgery; And despite the advent of laparoscopic surgery, laparotomy retains its indications including forms with hemorrhagic shock. CONCLUSION: Due to the high risk of complications and maternal mortality, abdominal pregnancies should be surgically treated as soon as possible when the diagnosis is confirmed.
