Abstract

Caesarean scar ectopic pregnancy is a pregnancy in which the ectopic is in the scar tissue of a previous caesarean section. This is a life threatening condition if proper diagnosis and management does not take place in time. It is not compatible with a successful pregnancy. The clinical diagnosis can be obscure, especially in the initial stages; therefore clinicians should be acquainted with the sonographic hallmarks of caesarean scar pregnancy on radiographic. It is very similar to a spontaneous abortion in progress which is why the misdiagnosis is common. We present a case of caesarean scar pregnancy which was managed by performing an emergency laparotomy.
