Article Abstract
Cesarean scar ectopic pregnancy is one of the rarest of all ectopic pregnancies. Cesarean scar ectopic can occur after previous uterine manipulation, in vitro fertilization, hysterotomy, etc. With the increasing number of cesarean sections, the incidence of cesarean scar ectopics has increased worldwide.
