Pregnancy on Uterine Scar: 1 Case Report and Review of the Literature

Uterine scar pregnancy is a rare form of ectopic pregnancy that occurs at the site of a previous caesarean section scar. With the global increase in caesarean section rates, this pathology is tending to become more frequent. It constitutes a diagnostic and therapeutic emergency, due to the high risk of serious complications such as uterine rupture, massive hemorrhage and loss of fertility. Diagnosis relies mainly on transvaginal ultrasound, and treatment varies according to the patient's clinical condition and desire for future fertility. Prevention involves carefully limiting the indications for Caesarean sections and rigorously monitoring patients at risk. Early and appropriate management can significantly improve prognosis.

Abstract

Uterine scar pregnancy is a rare form of ectopic pregnancy that occurs at the site of a previous caesarean section scar. With the global increase in caesarean section rates, this pathology is tending to become more frequent. It constitutes a diagnostic and therapeutic emergency, due to the high risk of serious complications such as uterine rupture, massive hemorrhage and loss of fertility. Diagnosis relies mainly on transvaginal ultrasound, and treatment varies according to the patient's clinical condition and desire for future fertility. Prevention involves carefully limiting the indications for Caesarean sections and rigorously monitoring patients at risk. Early and appropriate management can significantly improve prognosis.
