Abstract
Cesarean scar pregnancy is one of the rarest forms of ectopic pregnancy. Little is known about its incidence and natural history. The diagnosis and treatment of cesarean scar pregnancy (CSP) is challenging. This is a very interesting case presentation on a relatively rare diagnosis “Caesarean scar ectopic pregnancy” which is on the rise as the result of increased Caesarean section, worldwide. The case was diagnosed at Gynaeoncology Unit in King Abdul-Aziz University Hospital, Jeddah, KSA in February 2015. During my talk, I will shed light on the salient points that lead us to the proper diagnosis as it was really challenging. Differential diagnosis included CS ectopic pregnancy versus placental site trophoblastic tumor. A very attractive high-quality pathology slides and MRI photos are included in the power-point presentation. A brief discussion about the reported incidence of CS ectopic pregnancy in the literature, its clinical presentation and aspects of diagnosis & management will be held. The unique quality about this presentation is how nicely it explains this grave diagnosis and the issues around this relatively recent diagnosis. Conclusion: By the end of this talk, audience might found it interesting to learn about this albeit rare but very crucial and challenging diagnosis. It’s paramount to appropriately diagnose and accordingly manage such cases. Ruptured ectopic pregnancy is a devastating complication of early pregnancy. By educating healthcare professionals and raising awareness among women, we can save lives.
