          Abstract

          A implantação da gravidez na cicatriz de cesárea é considerada uma forma rara de gestação ectópica com uma alta taxa de morbidade e mortalidade. Este tipo de gestação ectópica pode causar complicações graves, em função dos riscos de ruptura e hemorragia volumosa, que pode resultar em histerectomia e comprometimento do futuro reprodutivo da mulher. Reportamos um caso de uma gestação ectópica em cicatriz de cesárea em uma mulher de 28 anos que foi tratada com sucesso com a combinação de três métodos: metotrexate, embolização da artéria uterina e curetagem guiada por ultrassom. Dessa forma foi preservada sua fertilidade.

          Implantation of a pregnancy within a cesarean delivery scar is considered to be the rarest form of ectopic pregnancy, with a high morbidity and mortality. Pregnancy in a cesarean delivery scar may cause catastrophic complications which may result in hysterectomy and compromise the reproductive future of a woman. We report an ectopic pregnancy in cesarean scar case in a 28-year old pregnant woman that was treated with success with the association between three treatment modalities (methotrexate, uterine artery embolization and curettage) and preserve her fertility.

            Therapeutic options of caesarean scar pregnancy: case series and literature review.

            We describe our experience with the treatment of 4 caesarean scar pregnancies and provide an overview of current literature. Four women diagnosed with a caesarean scar pregnancy in our hospital between 1996 and 2007 were treated with local or systemic methotrexate and had a steady decline of the serum beta-hCG level. The uterus was preserved in all women and 3 of them had an uneventful subsequent pregnancy and delivery. We suggest that transcervical needle aspiration of amniotic fluid followed by intra-amniotic injection of methotrexate should be the treatment of choice, followed by surgical treatment only if methotrexate fails.

              Intramural ectopic pregnancy: treatment using uterine artery embolization.

              Herein is described the case of a 28-year-old woman in whom uterine artery embolization (UAE) was performed to treat intramural ectopic pregnancy. The intramural ectopic pregnancy was diagnosed at magnetic resonance imaging, which showed a gestational sac surrounded completely by myometrium. The UAE procedure was uncomplicated, with satisfactory results. Intramural ectopic pregnancy may be treated using UAE, which aids in maintaining fertility.
