Abstract:
Pregnancy in a Caesarean section scar is rare but possibly life-threatening because of the risk of rupture and excessive bleeding. We describe here a case of a pregnant woman with previous Caesarean section. She had no symptoms of ectopic pregnancy, but a transvaginal sonography showed a live seven-week pregnancy in the Caesarean section scar. To terminate the pregnancy and conserve the uterus, she was treated medically with methotrexate and mifepristone, with no effect. Transvaginal intrathoracic injection of 1 mmol of potassium chloride was then performed. After this, the patient's serum HCG level dropped.
