Abstract

Ectopic pregnancy is defined as the implantation of the fertilized egg outside the uterine cavity. About 95% of ectopic pregnancies are located in the tube. Non-tubal forms, in particular on the scar of a cesarean section, are a very rare entity whose early diagnosis and treatment are essential to avoid serious complications and preserve fertility.
