Ectopic Pregnancy in Cesarean Scar. Case Report WJGWH- Iris Publishers




Ectopic  pregnancy  on  the  scar  of  a  previous  cesarean  is  a  very  rare  entity  with  a  prevalence  ranging  from  1:  1,800  to  1:  2,226  pregnancies  [1]  and  corresponds  to  only  6%  of  ectopic  pregnancies  in  women  with  a  previous  cesarean  section  [2].  Its  increasing  incidence  in  recent  years  is  associated  not  only  with  the increase in the number of caesarean sections, but also with the increase  of  scarring  in  the  endometrium  due  to  uterine  curettage,  myomectomies,  hysteroscopies,  manual  delivery  of  the  placenta  and  assisted  fertilization  techniques  [3].  We  present  a  case  report  of a patient with a serious complication due to this pathology.
