Cesarean Scar Ectopic Pregnancy: A Do-Not-Miss Diagnosis.

The rate of cesarean section (CS) for delivery has increased internationally, reaching 50% in some countries. Abnormal implantation of a new pregnancy at the site of the prior hysterotomy is an important complication because of the risks of hemorrhage, uterine rupture, and progression to placenta accreta spectrum (PAS), a condition with high morbidity with potential for catastrophic obstetric hemorrhage, maternal and fetal mortality, and loss of fertility. Cesarean scar ectopic pregnancy (CSEP) is the recommended term to describe these pregnancies, which are recognized on the basis of the sac implantation site, growth pattern, and associated abnormal perfusion.
