Abstract EN
Abdominal pregnancy (AP) accounts for 1% of ectopic implantations.
In sub-Saharan Africa, the high prevalence of sexually transmitted infections explains the increasing frequency of this pathology.
In Cameroon it rose from 1/10000 deliveries (1995) to 3.3/10000 (2015).
Authors herein report a case of a viable abdominal pregnancy discovered at term during emergency laparotomy for suspected uterine rupture.
The 24-year-old G2P0 patient was HIV-positive, under antiretrovirals, though AP exceptionally occurs in HIV patients.
She did only two antenatal consultations: her main complaint was abdominal pain but five echographies concluded to normal intrauterine pregnancy.
Findings at laparotomy were as follows: amnioperitoneum, a live female baby weighing 3.4 kilogrammes without deformities and a placenta deeply inserted on the uterine fundus.
Removal of the placenta triggered massive bleeding (2400 milliliters) with shock managed with a tourniquet on the lower uterine segment and fluid resuscitation.
Outcome was favourable for the mother and child.
Prevention of vertical transmission of HIV was successful with antiretroviral therapy.
