title: First-trimester uterine rupture from a placenta percreta. A case report.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Cesarean scar pregnancy complicated by placenta percreta and uterine rupture is an uncommon gynecologic emergency.
  
  
  METHODS
  A woman presenting with abdominal pain and shock was found to have a cesarean scar pregnancy complicated by placenta percreta and uterine rupture.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Implantation within a cesarean scar may cause placenta percreta, leading to uterine rupture in the first trimester and mimicking other gynecologic emergencies.
