Abstract
Advanced abdominal pregnancy (AAP) with a viable full-term fetus is a rarity that a few obstetricians encounter
during their professional carrier. Usually it has a dramatic and catastrophic consequence both for the fetus & the
mother; rather subsequent delivery of a viable full term fetus is exceptional. It is difficult to diagnose preoperatively.
Though relatively rare, we received an AAP at term with live fetus in Faridpur Medical College & hospital. Illiteracy,
poverty and lack of antenatal care had resulted in her late presentation. After laparotomy the diagnosis was
confirmed, a healthy male baby was delivered.
