Caesarean scar pregnancy (CSP), in which the pregnancy is located in the scar of a previous Caesarean section, is a rare situation that carries a high risk of uterine rupture. Improved ultrasound imaging allows early diagnosis of this condition, but there is no standard management. We report the

To demonstrate a technique for the laparoscopic surgical management of cesarean section scar ectopic pregnancy. Step-by-step presentation of the procedure using video (Canadian Task Force classification III). Cesarean section scar ectopic pregnancy is a rare form of ectopic pregnancy with an

To present a modified technique for laparoscopic cornual resection for the surgical treatment of heterotopic istmocornual pregnancy. A step-by-step explanation of the surgery using video (Canadian Task Force Classification III-c). Heterotopic pregnancy is the coexistence of pregnancy in both the

BACKGROUND An ectopic pregnancy developing in a Caesarean section scar is extremely rare. This type of ectopic pregnancy carries with it a high risk of morbidity related to uterine rupture and extensive hemorrhage. Conservative treatment in the form of local or systemic injection of methotrexate or

Caesarean scar pregnancy is a rare form of an ectopic pregnancy that can lead to serious consequences like massive bleeding and uterine rupture. Although there is no consensus for treatment, many treatment options have been described. We present a female patient who had to undergo most of these

BACKGROUND Abdominal pregnancy is a very rare obstetric complication which is seriously hazardous to the mother as well as the fetus. It poses a diagnostic challenge to this day. Both maternal and fetal mortality rates in such cases are high, as well as the malformation rate among the affected

Heterotopic cesarean scar pregnancy is a cesarean scar pregnancy combined with an intrauterine pregnancy that predisposes a woman to life-threatening complications such as uterine rupture and massive bleeding. Preservation of the intrauterine pregnancy in heterotopic cesarean scar pregnancy is a

We report a rare case of acute hyperkalemia in a patient with chronic kidney disease and intrauterine fetal demise. We propose that the hyperkalemia was due to a potassium load introduced into the maternal circulation as a result of intrauterine fetal demise and uterine rupture.

OBJECTIVE To compare outcomes of nonsurgical versus surgical treatment of Cesarean scar pregnancies (CSP) in the first trimester and identify optimal treatment methods for CSP. METHODS Retrospective cohort study of all women diagnosed and treated with CSP in the first trimester at a single tertiary

Cesarean scar pregnancy (CSP) is a rare type of ectopic pregnancy. It is becoming more common, but it can lead to uterine rupture and severe hemorrhage. Here, we report a case of a 37-year-old woman with CSP complicated with pseudoaneurysm. The pseudoaneurysm emerged following focal injection of

The objective of this systematic review was to assess the efficacy and safety of treatment options of cesarean scar pregnancies (CSPs). We searched MEDLINE, Embase, and the Cochrane Library from inception to June 2016 as well as reference lists. We included English publications reporting treatment
