Abstract

Cesarean scar pregnancy (CSP) is a rare form of ectopic pregnancy, which is a long-term complication of cesarean section. Prompt and accurate diagnosis of CSP is important to decrease maternal mobility and mortality. However, it is difficult to make an early detection for CSP complicated with morbidly adherent placenta. Contrast-enhanced ultrasound with the advantage in blood flow imaging is low-cost, time-saving, safe and more accessible in clinical practice. Here, we report a case with early detection of CSP with placenta increta by contrast-enhanced ultrasound and its successful uterine-sparing surgical management.
