- Abstract
A thirty-five-year-old Gravida 3 Para 2 Abortion 0 patient with a history of two previous cesarean sections presented with suspected ectopic pregnancy along the cesarean section scar at eight weeks of gestation. The diagnosis was confirmed by ultrasound scan and the patient had an urgent laparotomy with excision of ectopic pregnancy and repair of the uterus. The postoperative recovery was uneventful; she received systemic Methotrexate in addition to the surgical treatment. We believe that combined surgical and medical management ensures the removal of ectopic tissue. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case in the Kingdom of Bahrain.
