Abstract
Background: This article reports a unique case of cesarean scar pregnancy, demonstrating importance of early management and diagnosis.
Case presentation: A 30-year-old pregnant woman with prior history of two cesarean sections found to have cesarean scar pregnancy at approximately 13 weeks' gestation and underwent a gravid hysterectomy.
Conclusions: While rare, cesarean scar pregnancies should be considered on the differential diagnosis of any pregnant patient with history of cesarean section who presents in early pregnancy with vaginal bleeding and/or cramping. Given the increased rates of cesarean sections in the times of COVID-19, one may anticipate seeing more cases of cesarean scar pregnancies.
