Abstract
Although the occurrence of abdominal pregnancy is frequently reported, it is uncommon to note the birth of a full term living infant delivered from such a gestation. Only three proved cases of abdominal pregnancy have been found among 28,253 deliveries at the Elizabeth Steel Magee Hospital. By a survey of the literature from 1809 to 1919, and questionnaires to 200 obstetricians, Beck1was able to collect only 262 cases of extra-uterine pregnancy after the fifth month with a living infant. Because of its exceptional nature, the case reported here is given in detail. REPORT OF CASE History. —M. Y., a white woman, aged 23, a secundigravida, referred to the service of Dr. C. E. Ziegler at the Elizabeth Steel Magee Hospital by Dr. W. H. Goodpastor, Sept. 5, 1933, had a spontaneous delivery of a full term baby seven years before. Otherwise her history was irrelevant.
