Abstract
- Implantation of a gestational sac within a previous cesarean scar is the rarest form of ectopic pregnancy. A delay in either diagnosis or treatment can lead to uterine rupture, hysterectomy, and significant maternal morbidity due to severe hemorrhage. As developing of transvaginal ultrasound and MRI, early diagnosis could be made and conservative treatment could be possible. We have recently experienced a case of intramural pregnancy implanting in the scar of cesarean section, and enabled the successful treatment to preserve the patient's reproductive capability.
