Abstract
From 1947 to 1984, 45 advanced ectopic pregnancies were delivered at Freedmen's Hospital and its successor, Howard University Hospital. Four patients of extrauterine pregnancies were contacted to determine their developmental outcome. At the time of the study, their ages ranged from infancy to adulthood. Results are presented of two children who received in-depth interdisciplinary evaluations at the Howard University Child Development Center. The authors reviewed the literature and questioned other authors, who, based on single examinations, reported normal function in children born after extrauterine pregnancies.
