Abstract
Advanced extra-uterine pregnancies, although uncommon, are associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Early diagnosis is essential. A high index of suspicion is necessary and ultrasound examination is probably the most suitable investigative tool to date. Conservative management with the aim of fetal viability in pregnancies >24 weeks’ gestation is an appropriate form of management and does not adversely affect maternal morbidity and mortality.
