Objective To analyze the magnetic resonance imaging(MRI )features of cesarean scar pregnancy(CSP). Methods The MRI features 25 patients with CSP confirmed by clinic and pathology after cesarean section were retrospectively analyzed. Results All gestational sacs of the 25 CSP patients were clearly demonstrated on MRI.The gestational sacs were cystic(7/25) or heterogeneous(18/25),located within the uterine cavity (6/25) or deeply implanted in the scar(19/25).Suction and curettage were performd in 18/25, uterine artery embolization in 5/25 and laparoscopic operation in 2/25. Conclusion CSP has its unique findings on MRI, these specific features can provide useful information in the management of CSP.
