Abstract

Abdomianl pregnancy is rare, occurring 9.2 cases per 1,000 ectopic pregnancies and encountered in 1 in 10,000-25,000 births. Omental pregnancy is extremely rare form of abdominal pregnancy that may cause life-threatening massive hemorrhage in case of rupture. The clinical characteristics is variable and physical examination by itself may be insufficient for diagnosis. Early and accurate diagnosis is necessary to decrease fetal and maternal mortality and morbidity, serious complications. We report a case of ruptured early omental pregnancy with a review of literature.
