Summary:Caesarean scar pregnancy is one of the rarest forms of ectopic pregnancies. But, with the increasing Caesarean section rates, its incidence is on the rise. Its diagnosis and treatment is a challenge specially as standard protocols are not available and treatment aims not only to spare the patient's life, but also to preserve her fertility. The case reported here had initially been managed as an antenatal with intra-uterine pregnancy and had undergone an MTP. She presented with hypovolaemic shock and after resuscitation, was diagnosed as a patient with a Caesarean scar pregnancy. She underwent laparotomy with resection of the mass. Post-operative recovery was uneventful and she was discharged without complications. KEYWORDS Caesarean Scar Pregnancy.
