Abstract
ABSTRACT
Pregnancy over the cesarean scar is the rarest cause of ectopic pregnancy and
development of persistent trophoblastic disease at the scar site is extremely rare. A
high index of suspicion is needed for early diagnosis and management of cesarean
scar molar pregnancy. This condition is difficult to diagnose and must be considered
in the patient with a history of cesarean section who has persistent vaginal bleeding
or symptoms of pregnancy after suction evacuation. Diagnosis can be confirmedby
measuring ß Human Chorionic Gonadotropin levels, transvaginal ultrasound with
doppler flow evaluation. As this is an uncommon condition, this case report with
conservative non surgical approach will add up to its clinical spectrum.
