Abstract | BACKGROUND: Caesarean scar defect (CSD) is a complication of caesarean section with implications for abnormal uterine bleeding. Most cases of CSD are discovered incidentally or with the development of menstrual changes.

Her symptoms resolved with expectant management. She subsequently underwent elective hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, which provided histological confirmation of a CSD. CONCLUSION:
