Maternal near-miss from cesarean scar ectopic pregnancy: emerging clinical challenge in resource-limited settings—a case series

Cesarean scar ectopic pregnancy is an emerging, potentially life-threatening complication in low-resource settings, where limited diagnostic capacity and low clinical suspicion often impede timely diagnosis and management. The avoidance of blind uterine evacuation until cesarean scar ectopic pregnancy is excluded, the adoption of lesion-tailored treatment strategies, and the strengthening of targeted clinical training and diagnostic access are critical to improve maternal health outcomes and reduce morbidity in these settings.

Abstract

Cesarean scar ectopic pregnancy is an emerging, potentially life-threatening complication in low-resource settings, where limited diagnostic capacity and low clinical suspicion often impede timely diagnosis and management. The avoidance of blind uterine evacuation until cesarean scar ectopic pregnancy is excluded, the adoption of lesion-tailored treatment strategies, and the strengthening of targeted clinical training and diagnostic access are critical to improve maternal health outcomes and reduce morbidity in these settings.
