Abstract

Abdominal pregnancy is extremely rare and easily missed in routine obstetric practice. We present a case of primigravida who presented to obstetric emergency with lower abdominal pain and slight bleeding per vagina. On ultrasound (US)  and 3T MRI 3T, 16 weeks primary abdominal pregnancy as per Studdiford’s criteria was diagnosed. Due to high risk of rupture and other possible complications, pregnancy was terminated on medical ground without any postoperative complications.
