%X Abdominal pregnancy is a rare form of ectopic pregnancy (accounting for 1% of all ectopic pregnancies). Depending on gestational age and its location various symptoms and signs may be exhibited. This study aimed to report a case of abdominal pregnancy occurring in the Morrison Pouch with a primary presentation of right upper quadrant pain and to highlight complications that may arise in the management of abdominal pregnancy located in the Morrison Pouch. A 22-year pregnant woman at gestation of 22 weeks presented with a right upper quadrant mass and pain. Ultrasound examination revealed a live extrauterine singleton at Morrison Pouch, full blood count showed severe anemia. The patient received a blood transfusion in seven days and underwent emergency laparotomy after experiencing sudden acute internal hemorrhage but died a few hours post laparotomy due to hemorrhagic shock. Abdominal pregnancy carries a high risk of maternal hemorrhage as described in this case.
