It was learned that a 37-year-old woman, who went to the doctor complaining of abdominal cramps, had a 23-week ectopic pregnancy. Description of the case published in the journal NEJM.
A resident of Reunion Island was admitted to a hospital on the French mainland with complaints of abdominal pain and increasing bloating that lasted 10 days. The scan showed a normally formed fetus in the space between his stomach and intestines. Her placenta was attached to the woman’s upper pelvis.
An ectopic pregnancy occurs when the fetus begins to grow in the fallopian tubes or ovaries. The probability of death of the fetus reaches 90%. About 20 percent of survivors have birth defects or brain damage.
To increase the baby’s chances of survival, doctors recommended that the woman wait to abort him at 29 weeks. Twelve days later, the mother had a second surgery to remove the placenta, and three months later she and her baby were discharged home.
