[en] Caesarean scar pregnancy is a rare form of ectopic pregnancy, but it is increasingly common due to the increasing number of caesarean sections and advances in medical imaging. There are two types of cesarean scar pregnancy depending on the depth of the implantation : endogenous type I and exogenous type II. In the case of a pregnancy resulting from a type II caesarean scar, the main complication is uterine rupture, which could be life-threatening for the patient. Early diagnosis and treatment are therefore essential for the woman. We report the case of a patient in early pregnancy with a history of cesarean section who presented with severe pelvic pain due to uterine rupture.
