Ruptured Scar Pregnancy secondary to ingestion of Misoprostol: A Case Report
Journal Title: American Journal of Sonography - Year 2018, Vol 1, Issue 8
Abstract
Scar pregnancy is a rare form of ectopic pregnancy. If not diagnosed early and managed appropriately, it may lead to serious complications such as uterine rupture and hemorrhage. We present a case of a 29-year-old female with a history of prior three cesarean sections who presented to our clinic with abdominal pain. She had taken misoprostol to terminate her 6 weeks pregnancy while being unaware that she had a scar pregnancy. Transvaginal ultrasound revealed a ruptured scar pregnancy with hematoma. Emergency laparotomy was performed and uterus was repaired.
