Abstract:
Abdominal pregnancy is a rare event following in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer. In case of early abdominal pregnancy, it is difficult to diagnose and treat early because of nonspecific symptoms. The abdominal pregnancy in a woman with tubal obstruction is very exceptional and an abdominal pregnancy on abdominal scar have not been reported. We reported the first abdominal pregnancy on abdominal scar following in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer in a woman with unilateral salpingectomy and contralateral tubal obstruction.
