Abstract

Primary splenic pregnancy, a type of abdominal pregnancy, is very rare and potentially life-threatening, particularly without an accurate preoperative diagnosis. Herein we describe the case of a 27-year-old woman who had primary splenic pregnancy with hemorrhagic shock due to spleen rupture, who was successfully treated by laparotomy.

Keywords: abdominal pregnancy; case report; hemorrhagic shock; splenectomy; splenic pregnancy.
