Abstract:
Pregnancy on a caesarean section scar is a rare form of ectopic pregnancy which may jeopardise the patient's vital and functional prognosis due to the risk of massive haemorrhage or premature uterine rupture.We report here the case of a 33 year old patient with no particular medical history, 3rd operation, 2nd pare, carrying a doubly scarred uterus. Thanks to endovaginal ultrasound, the diagnosis was made early and treatment was concervative. Through this observation and in the light of a review of the literature, we will discuss the diagnostic and therapeutic characteristics of this rare entity, knowledge of which by practitioners can improve the prognosis.
