Abdominal pregnancy on uterine malformation type Unicornus uterus class II of ASRM about a clinical case at the Maternity ward of the General Hospital of Kinshasa, The Democratic Republic of Congo

Abstract

Abdominal pregnancy is a rare event and occurs in approximately 1 percent of extra-uterine pregnancies. Its frequency is estimated at 1 per 10,000 live births. It is associated with a high fetal mortality rate (40-95%) and significant maternal mortality. The association of uterine malformation and ectopic pregnancy type cornuale is described in the literature, but the abdominal type appears to be exceptional. The authors describe a case of abdominal pregnancy associated with uterine malformation type unicornus uterus class II of ASRM (unicornuate uterus with a rudimentary controlateral uterus), of which the diagnosis was made when a complication occured.
