Advanced abdominal pregnancy: case report and review of 163 cases reported since 1946
Rural and Remote Health, 12/12/08

Nkusu ND et al. - Pre-operative diagnosis of AAP allows time for thoughtful preparation of the patient, family and medical team; however, to be diagnosed, AAP must first be considered. Diagnosis requires a high index of suspicion, and this should be triggered by any of a number of symptoms and signs reported in many cases of AAP. An unusual echographic appearance of the placenta was present in our case and prompted a more thorough investigation that confirmed the diagnosis. This finding has been reported by others and should be added to the list of signs and symptoms that might lead to a diagnosis of AAP in time to save the surgeon from an unpleasant and dangerous surprise.
