%X A cesarean scar pregnancy (CSP) is a rare form of ectopic pregnancy. Proper diagnosis and management of CSP are incredibly important secondary to the risk of uterine rupture and life-threatening hemorrhage. Various medical and surgical management have been described previously. This report looks at two cases of CSP diagnosed at an urban hospital in Atlanta, Georgia. The first woman was 30 years old with a history of five prior CS. She was referred from an abortion clinic for CSP at 6 weeks 2 days gestation. She did not desire future fertility and opted for a hysterectomy. The second woman was 38 years old with a history of three prior CS presenting with vaginal bleeding and abdominal pain and found to have a CSP with a gestation sac measuring 5 weeks 1 day. Given the patient's desires for future fertility, she was treated with a two-dose regimen of systemic intramuscular methotrexate (MTX) at 1 mg/kg with successful resolution of CSP and subsequent intrauterine pregnancy. Due to the high risk of uterine rupture and hemorrhage with CSP, it is important to have a high index of suspicion for diagnosis. Due to the rarity of CSP, and thus difficulty creating quality prospective trials, there is no consensus on the best management yet. Although conservative treatment carries high failure risk, shared decision-making incorporating future fertility desires should be considered when determining management of CSP, and when surgical management is considered a minimally invasive approach should be the standard of care in surgical management.
