Abstract
A case of a cesarean section scar pregnancy with a diagnostic dilemma is presented. Due to a decrease in β – hCG after 48 hours, the patient was diagnosed with a failing pregnancy and was given misoprostol. However, β – HCG was still high and the patient had a severe vaginal bleeding after a month of medical management. Evacuation curettage under laparoscopic guidance was performed and the bleeding was successfully stopped using a Bakri balloon.
