ABSTRACT


Cesarean scar pregnancy (CSP) is an extremely rare form of ectopic pregnancy. A 39-year-old woman with a history of multiple uterine surgeries was diagnosed with a CSP at seven weeks by transvaginal ultrasound. The CSP was misdiagnosed at 13 weeks and 5 days during a second medical opinion. At 22 weeks of gestation, a 3.8 cm subserosal uterine rupture was visualized. Expectant management was decided. A live birth was achieved through an elective cesarean section at 34 weeks of gestation. The complications were early subserosal uterine rupture and placenta accreta spectrum that led to a hysterectomy. Due to risk of uterine rupture, management should consist of early termination of the pregnancy.
