Ectopic pregnancy within a cesarean delivery scar: a case report

Donald L Fylstra et al. Am J Obstet Gynecol. 2002 Aug.

Abstract

The implantation of a pregnancy within the scar of a previous cesarean delivery is the rarest of ectopic pregnancy locations. If it is diagnosed early, treatment options are capable of preserving the uterus and subsequent fertility. However, a delay in either diagnosis or treatment can lead to uterine rupture, hysterectomy, and significant maternal morbidity.
