Cesarean scar ectopic pregnancy: invasion of the bladder wall detected by magnetic resonance imaging

چکیده
Although cesarean scar ectopic pregnancy continues to be the rarest form of ectopic pregnancy, its incidence is increasing because of the worldwide increase in the number of cesarean deliveries.
