Myometrial pregnancy developing in a previous Cesarean section scar is the rarest and most dangerous of all ectopic pregnancies. As with cervical ectopic pregnancy, in the past the diagnosis was made late in the first trimester and was often only established after hysterectomy for uncontrollable, even life-threatening, hemorrhage from the eroded blood vessels within the myometrial tissue1 We describe here a case of pregnancy developing in a previous Cesarean section scar that was treated conservatively with methotrexate (MTX).

Abstract
Myometrial pregnancy developing in a previous Cesarean section scar is the rarest and most dangerous of all ectopic pregnancies. As with cervical ectopic pregnancy, in the past the diagnosis was made late in the first trimester and was often only established after hysterectomy for uncontrollable, even life-threatening, hemorrhage from the eroded blood vessels within the myometrial tissue1 We describe here a case of pregnancy developing in a previous Cesarean section scar that was treated conservatively with methotrexate (MTX).
