Abstract:
Cesarean section scar ectopic pregnancy (CSEP) is defined as a pregnancy in which blastocyst is implanted within the scar of previous cesarean section. It is a rare form of ectopic but its frequency is increasing due to increasing rate of cesarean section. In this case, a 36 years old G3P2A0, married for 10 years, previous II C/Sections, LCB 7 years back, presented with ultrasound report of the viable pregnancy at 11+1 weeks with gestational sac incorporating into previous scar of cesarean section. She was otherwise asymptomatic and stable. Serum Beta hCG was 73664.78 IU/L. Laparotomy was done as an elective procedure. Dense adhesions were noted on opening the abdomen between anterior abdominal wall, uterus, bladder and gut. Scar ectopic pregnancy was excised after dissecting the adhesions. Her Serum Beta hCG 48 hour post-operatively was 1397.0 IU/L.Patient was discharged home on 2nd post-operative day in good condition. She was counselled about risk of a recurrent scar ectopic and rupture of uterus in next pregnancy. Her serum Beta hCG declined to normal by 4 weeks post operatively.
