Abstract
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. Modern obstetrician needs to be aware of the diagnosis of caesarean scar ectopic pregnancy and consider evaluation of scar with ultrasound or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). 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
