This case illustrates the importance of considering a diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy at previous caesarean scar. When a live intrauterine pregnancy consisting of gestational sac, fetal pole and or yolk sac cannot be visualized, in presence of sufficiently elevated quantitative serum chorionic gonadotropin (β-HCG) the possibility of all sites of ectopic pregnancies should considered.

Early diagnosis and right treatment can preserve the fertility. We present here such a patient, in whom caesarean scar pregnancy was accurate¬ly diagnosed and appropriately treated
