Hung-Shuo Liang et al. J Reprod Med. 2003 Jun.

Abstract

Background: Cesarean scar pregnancy complicated by placenta percreta and uterine rupture is an uncommon gynecologic emergency.

Case: A woman presenting with abdominal pain and shock was found to have a cesarean scar pregnancy complicated by placenta percreta and uterine rupture.

Conclusion: Implantation within a cesarean scar may cause placenta percreta, leading to uterine rupture in the first trimester and mimicking other gynecologic emergencies.
