Abstract

Cesarean scar pregnancy is the localization of uterine out of the cavity. There is a variety of treatment methods of cesarean
scar pregnancy. There is not yet a consensus on treatment of scar
pregnancy by using a preferred method. A 28-year-old woman applied to our center with the suspicion of pregnancy.
A cesarean scar pregnancy that had fetal heart beats consistent with 6 weeks +2
days was determined in the area of incision line of uterus. Methotrexate was
injected to the patient with oocyte pick-up needle under transvaginal
ultrasonograph. No complication developed after the
procedure. The patient was discharged in good health from the hospital the next
day and her b hcg levels turned back to normal level.
