Secondary abdominal pregnancies are generally due to the intraperitoneal translocation of the fetus following a tubal rupture; they may also develop, however, as a result of a dehiscence resulting from rupture along the scar of a previous cesarean section or the rupture of a rudimentary horn. Abdominal pregnancy being generally asymptomatic, routine obstetrical history, physical examination and abdominal ultrasound may fail to elicit subjective elements that could allow a differential diagnosis from intrauterine pregnancy. Our paper presents the case of a patient of ours with a history of five cesarean sections, in whom the last pregnancy continued in the peritoneal cavity following a scar rupture, probably during the first trimester, and resulted in fetal death in the 22nd week.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessFetal deathSecondary abdominal pregnancyUterine ruptureArticle83136137N/A
