Local treatment with methotrexate of cesarean scar pregnancy: A case report

Abstract

Cesarean scar pregnancy, is the implantation of a gestational sac within the myometrium at the side of previous cesarean section scar, is a rare type of ectopic pregnancy. Ultrasonography is the first and most important diagnostic method of this condition. Increased suspicion with widespread use of ultrasound lead to the recognition of most cases of Cesarean scar pregnancy in early pregnancy. This allows for rapid interventions and preservation of the uterus and fertility. The use of conservative treatments, including medical treatment, especially with methotrexate, saves from surgeries such as hysterectomy and preserves women's fertility. In this study, we presented a case of cesarean scar pregnancy which was successfully treated with transvaginal ultrasound-guided injection of methotrexate.
