Extra Uterine Pregnancy on Cesarean Scar: Case Report and Literature Review
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 10
Abstract
Caesarean section scar pregnancy is a rare form of ectopic pregnancy that is life-threatening and engages functional prognosis. Diagnosis is more often made in the first trimester with endo-vaginal ultrasound. Treatment must be early and active because of the major risk of hemorrhage or uterine rupture involving the vital and functional uterine prognosis. This risk increases with the age of pregnancy. We report the case of an ectopic pregnancy on caesarean section scar diagnosed at 8 weeks of amenorrhea. The diagnosis was early thanks to the endo-vaginal ultrasound. The patient had a conservative treatment successfully. We discuss diagnosis and treatment to contribute in improving care.
