Intrauterine ectopic pregnancy. A case report

Clin Exp Obstet Gynecol. 1998;25(3):79-80.

Abstract

A case of vaginal bleeding occurring in a patient with a cervico-isthmic pregnancy located in a previous caesarean section scar was treated with curettage and systemic methotrexate. Metrorrhagia and uterine rupture are severe complications of this kind of ectopic pregnancy and sometimes require demolitive surgery, still today. Early ultrasonographic diagnosis is necessary to allow conservative treatment.
