Mid-trimester cesarean scar pregnancy: a case report

Abstract

BACKGROUND This article reports a unique case of cesarean scar pregnancy, demonstrating importance of early management and diagnosis. CASE PRESENTATION A 30-year-old pregnant woman with prior history of two cesarean sections found to have cesarean scar pregnancy at approximately 13 weeks' gestation and underwent a gravid hysterectomy. CONCLUSIONS While rare, cesarean scar pregnancies should be considered on the differential diagnosis of any pregnant patient with history of cesarean section who presents in early pregnancy with vaginal bleeding and/or cramping. Given the increased rates of cesarean sections in the times of COVID-19, one may anticipate seeing more cases of cesarean scar pregnancies.
