ABSTRACT
Uterine niche, also known as uterine isthmocele, caesarean scar defect and diverticulum, is an iatrogenic defect in the myometrium at the site of previous caesarean scar due to defective tissue healing (1). The incidence of uterine niche is on the rise due to the rising caesarean rates. Clinically it may either be asymptomatic or present as abnormal uterine bleeding, post-menstrual spotting or infertility. A 32 years old patient with previous caesarean section who was diagnosed as a case of secondary infertility due to uterine niche after ruling out other causes. The defect was repaired laparoscopically under general anesthesia. Patient conceived after 5 months of the procedure with ovulation induction and she is currently 5 weeks of period of gestation under follow-up. Post-caesarean uterine niche is a relatively newer clinical entity, and its diagnosis requires high index of suspicion.
