Abstract
Cesarean scar pregnancy is rare. However, there has been a rapid increase in the reporting of such cases in recent years. Most of the cases reported in the literature were diagnosed early in the first trimester. Possible management options proposed are pertinent to an early diagnosis. We present a case of a cesarean scar pregnancy diagnosed at 16 weeks that posed a dilemma with regard to management. The patient subsequently suffered a ruptured uterus, which was preserved at surgery. ยฉ 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Clin Ultrasound, 2007

Short-rib polydactyly dysplasia (SRP) is an autosomal recessive, lethal skeletal dysplasia. Sonographic assessment of subsequent pregnancies is, therefore, recommended. This case indicates that this diagnosis can be made in the latter part of the first trimester. A 30-year-old multigravid woman pre
