Undiagnosed term abdominal pregnancy in a district-level hospital of a developing country: a miracle baby

Term abdominal pregnancy is a sporadic ectopic pregnancy associated with high maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality. As symptoms are non-specific and resemble those of other ectopic pregnancies, early diagnosis is the major challenge in poor health setups. A 24-year-old primigravida at 38 w...
