Identification of fetal location and its relations to abdominal organs is extremely important in reducing fetal and maternal morbidity in rare cases of abdominal pregnancy. Ultrasound examination is inadequate for helping to successfully manage such cases. In this case report, FIESTA sequence MRI is used to provide high-resolution, better contrast, and higher signal-to-noise ratio fetal and abdominal images. A case of advanced abdominal pregnancy with a live fetus is reported. The surgery was conducted successfully on 34 weeks of gestation.
