CAESEREAN SCAR PREGNANCY – A CASE REPORT

Nithya J.* and Sri Vigni K.

ABSTRACT

The prevalence of caesarean scar pregnancy (CSP) is estimated to be approximately 1 in 2000 pregnancies. There has been a significant rise in reports of CSP, owing to imaging options, clinician awareness, increasing numbers of Caeserean section. Early diagnosis and appropriate intervention help in avoiding morbidity. Delayed diagnosis or rather misdiagnosis can be catastrophic. There is no definitive guidelines on management of CSP. We report a case of non-viable CSP that was diagnosed in early pregnancy by trans vaginal ultrasound and medically managed without maternal morbidity. She was on follow up with beta human chorionic gonadotrophin (HCG). The cornerstone in management is correct diagnosis and tailor-made treatment.
