Sumario:Cesarean section scar pregnancy is the rarest form of ectopic pregnancy. Cesarean scar ectopic pregnancy poses a diagnostic and management challenge, and if not diagnosed and adequately treated in early pregnancy, it may lead to considerable maternal morbidity or mortality. We describe the presentation, workup including radiology studies, and subsequent management plan of a cesarean scar ectopic pregnancy in a 34-year-old female with a history of four previous cesarean sections. We were successful in treating this rare form of ectopic pregnancy without any maternal morbidity with a combination of medical and surgical management.
