N2 - A cesarean scar ectopic pregnancy (CSEP) occurs when the embryo implants on the scar of a previous cesarean delivery. The number of births delivered by cesarean section has climbed by 50% over the last decade, from a nadir of 20.7% in 1996 to 32.1% in 2021. As a result, the incidence of CSEP has also increased. Because CSEP may cause serious morbidity such as life-threatening hemorrhage, uterine rupture, placental accreta spectrum, hysterectomy, and even mortality, accurate diagnosis and appropriate management of this condition are essential.
