Abstract

Caesarean scar ectopic pregnancy is a rare form of pregnancy implanting on a caesarean scar and is considered a gynaecological emergency associated with scar rupture and increased incidence of maternal morbidity when complicated with haemorrhage. Scar pregnancy incidence being more common as there are increased caesarean deliveries nowadays. Here the authors present a case of 28-year-old female with caesarean section scar ectopic pregnancy with ruptured uterine scar and haemorrhage associated with haemodynamic collapse which has poor prognosis. Imaging plays a crucial role in early detection and helps the clinician in further management to reduce maternal morbidity and mortality.
