Abstract

Background: Cesarean scar pregnancy is one of the rare and challenging forms of ectopic pregnancy in treatment. Surgical and medical treatment options are available. Nevertheless, no approach is superior.

Case Presentation: The present case reports a 29 years-old lady, presented with 12 weeks and 6 days, cesarean scar pregnancy without any symptoms, with a live fetus that underwent curettage two times.

Conclusion: We can use curettage frequently for CSP treatment without methotrexate and, without side effects of other treatments.

Keywords: Cesarean, scar, pregnancy, curettage, foley, catheter.
