Résumé
Lithopedion is a rare clinical situation characterised by the calcification of a
foetus that has died during an ectopic pregnancy, usually in the abdominal
cavity. It occurs in 1.5 to 2% of ectopic pregnancies. It can be asymptomatic
for several years. However, various complications can occur that lead to diagnosis.
The authors report a case of lithopedion complicated by acute intestinal
obstruction in a 24-year-old woman in her first pregnancy. This complication
occurred after 12 months of amenorrhoea. A mass containing a calcified foetus
was removed by laparotomy.
