20232 citationsOpen accessMohamed I University

Abstract

Uterine scar pregnancy is a rare form of ectopic pregnancy that is life-threatening and functionally compromising due to complications such as hemorrhage or early uterine rupture. We report the case of a 41-year-old patient admitted for metrorrhagia at 13 weeks' amenorrhea. Transvaginal ultrasound allowed early diagnosis of pregnancy on uterine scar and MRI-guided therapeutic management indicating hysterectomy. This study and literature review aims to highlight the importance of imaging features in the diagnosis and management of this rare condition, knowledge of which may improve prognosis.
