Introduction: Abdominal pregnancy is a rare entity of ectopic pregnancies (<1%), which corresponds to the implantation and development of the fertilized egg in the abdominal cavity. Case discussion: Mrs. Z.F, 28 years old, II Gravidity II parity, referred to IBN Tofail Hospital for the fortuitous discovery of an abdominal pregnancy carried to term. The admission examination was unremarkable; the ultrasound had revealed a single ectopic fetus with normal cardiac activity and absence of amniotic fluid. On MRI, the fetal body was visualized in the right abdomen, placenta attached to the fundus serosa. The xypho-pubic laparotomy performed under general anesthesia, allowing the podalic extraction of a newborn male, with an Apgar score of 10/10. The newborn presented external malformations without notable vital distress; the maternal and fetal consequences were simple with a discharge on Day 7 postoperative. Conclusion: Abdominal pregnancy is a rare pathology still encountered in countries where medicalization is insufficient. The fetal prognosis remains reserved, justifying the interest of the early diagnosis and management.
