Abstract

Objective To investigate the value of color Doppler ultrasound in the diagnosis and treatment of cesarean section scar pregnancy. Methods The imaging feature and clinical history of 40 patients with cesarean section scar pregnancy were retrospectively analyzed, and the ultrasound characteristics of cesarean section scar pregnancy were investigated. Results Gestational sac type and mixed mass type were divided based on the sonograms. Non-hemorrhage type, little hemorrhage type, massive hemorrhage type and post-abortion type were classified according to the symptoms. Different types had different ultrasonographic features, and were treated by different clinical treatment schemes. Conclusion Color Doppler ultrasound can accurately diagnose cesarean section scar pregnancy and may have significant value in guiding the treatment.
