title: Early ultrasonographic diagnosis and laparoscopic treatment of abdominal pregnancy.
abstract: An early, pre-operative, ultrasonographic diagnosis of an abdominal pregnancy was made and successfully treated by laparoscopy in an asymptomatic woman with a 8-weeks abdominal pregnancy. The early, ultrasonographic diagnosis allowed an easy, mini-invasive, endoscopic treatment of the potentially life threatening pregnancy.
