ABSTRACT: This paper presents two case reports of secondary abdominal pregnancy resulting from cesarean scar dehiscence and uteroplacental invasion, respectively. Both cases involved initial diagnostic errors via ultrasound, resulting in fetal death and requiring laparotomy for management. The authors review the literature to discuss the high rate of diagnostic oversight, the role of imaging, and surgical outcomes in low-resource settings.
