title: [Abdominal pregnancy with a living infant].
abstract: Abdominal pregnancy resulting in a liveborn infant is an obstetric rarity in Denmark. A case is reported and four cases reported during the past 20 years are reviewed. In the present case, the diagnosis of extrauterine pregnancy was not established in advance. The infant, a full-term boy weighing 3,650 g, was delivered transplacentally by Caesarean section during epidural analgesia. The placenta was adherent to the intestines and was left in the abdomen for spontaneous resorption but was expelled gradually through an amnio-percutaneous fistula over a period of three months. The infant did not present any evidence of congenital abnormalities.
