O83.3: Delivery of viable fetus in abdominal pregnancy

Delivery of viable fetus in abdominal pregnancy refers to a rare and complex type of ectopic pregnancy where the fetus develops outside the uterus and instead in the abdominal cavity. Unlike typical pregnancies which develop in the uterus, an abdominal pregnancy implants itself on structures such as the ovaries, fallopian tubes, or other abdominal organs. Symptoms can vary widely and can mimic those of a normal pregnancy. However, warning signs may include abnormal pain or discomfort, abnormal fetal movement, or irregularities in the size or position of the baby. The delivery of the fetus can embody significant challenges and entails high risk for the mother. This condition can be difficult to diagnose, especially in the earlier stages. Early detection is crucial for the management of abdominal pregnancy to minimize the risks and complications.
