Abstract

We report a rare and unusual case of an Abdominal pregnancy that was delivered successfully at term. It is the first documented case in the local literature in almost 30 years. What makes it even more exceptional is that despite the high mortality associated with the condition, both mother and baby survived the ordeal. She subsequently delivered another child, 2 years later by an elective lower segment caesarean section and had a tubal ligation performed concomitantly. A review of the topic and its management is also presented.
