Article Abstract
Unlabelled: Abdominal pregnancy is a rare form of ectopic pregnancies, accounts less than 1% of all types of ectopic pregnancy. Its significance comes from high morbidity and mortality rates.
Case Presentation: We present a case of a 22-year-old shocked patient with acute abdominal pain underwent laparotomy, abdominal pregnancy implanted into the posterior wall of the uterus diagnosis was made, and appropriate follow-up was offered.
Clinical Discussion: Acute abdominal pain may be the main symptom of the abdominal pregnancy. The diagnosis was made by direct visualization of the products of conception and pathological study confirmed.
Conclusion: The first case of abdominal pregnancy is implanted into the posterior wall of the uterus. Follow-up is recommended until β-human chorionic gonadotropin levels become undetectable.

Adrenal haemorrhage in pregnancy is rare but can lead to significant maternal and foetal morbidity if unrecognised. We present the case of a 25-year-old woman in her second pregnancy, who was admitted at 34+4 weeks of gestation with severe abdominal pain. Despite initial unremarkable assessments, further imaging revealed a left adrenal haemorrhage, with evidence of prior right adrenal infarction, resulting in primary adrenal insufficiency.
