Abstract

Abstract:

Cesarean scar pregnancy (CSP) is a special type of ectopic pregnancy and one of the serious long-term complication of cesarean section. The incidence of CSP has increased in recent years due to the increasing use of cesarean delivery and childbearing policy. Serious complications of CSP include placenta accreta, massive hemorrhage, and uterine rupture. Early diagnosis and reasonable treatment are particularly important for women who are suspected of having CSP. Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) play an important role in the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of CSP. In this paper, we systematically review the progress of CEUS in the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of CSP.

Key words: Contrast-enhanced ultrasound, Cesarean scar pregnancy, Differential diagnosis
