Abstract
Abdominal pregnancy is a rare form of ectopic pregnancy, which has been classified as early and advanced abdominal pregnancies. In case of early abdominal pregnancy, we may miss the diagnosis because the symptoms and clinical characteristics are non-specific. However, recently, the early diagnosis is made because of the development of quantitative beta-hCG measurement, transvaginal ultrasonography and the development of laparoscopy. Omental pregnancy is a very rare form of abdominal pregnancy, which is hard to detect early. When ruptured, it accompanies with massive hemorrhage. So, early diagnosis and treatment is essential to prevent high morbidity, mortality and serious complications. Definite diagnosis is made by cytopathologic examination of tissue specimen after surgery. We have experienced a case of ruptured early omental pregnancy and reviewed it briefly.
Key Words: Omental pregnancy, Abdominal pregnancy, Ectopic pregnancy
