Abstract :
Cervico-isthmic pregnancy may occur in women with a
history of previous cesarean section. In fi rst trimester, it is
best diagnosed by transvaginal ultrasound.[1] As soon as
the diagnosis is confi rmed, special care is necessary. Based
on the location, gestational age, size, and viability of the
embryo/fetus, conservative treatment or termination of
pregnancy should be recommended. In early diagnosis,
treatment options are capable of preserving the uterus and
subsequent fertility. However, a delay in either diagnosis
or treatment may lead to uterine rupture, inevitable
hysterectomy, and signifi cant maternal morbidity.
