ABSTRACT
Introduction: We report a viable cesarean scar pregnancy with a coexistent intrauterine pregnancy, managed successfully with operative hysteroscopy and suction curettage.
Case Description: A 32-year-old woman, with previous cesarean delivery, presented with vaginal bleeding and was referred to our hospital at 9 weeks’ gestation for heterotopic pregnancy in a spontaneous cycle. An intrauterine pregnancy combined with a cesarean scar pregnancy was shown by ultrasonography. The patient underwent hysteroscopy-directed evacuation of the cesarean scar pregnancy and suction curettage with good hemostasis.
Discussion: Spontaneous heterotopic cesarean scar pregnancy is a rare but possible entity. The combination of hysteroscopy and suction curettage is an option for a minimally invasive procedure for heterotopic cesarean scar pregnancy.
Key Words: Cesarean scar, Heterotopic, Hysteroscopy, Pregnancy.
