Cervical Ectopic Pregnancy: A case report and review of literature

Background: Cervical ectopic pregnancy is a rare obstetric emergency commonly associated with adverse outcomes because of the diagnostic and treatment challenges it poses. Case presentation: We report a referred case of cervical ectopic diagnosed using transabdominal and transvaginal ultrasound scan which was successfully managed conservatively with methotrexate. We further review available literature while discussing our management. Conclusion: Prompt diagnosis of cervical ectopic pregnancy will require a high index of suspicion alongside appropriate ultrasonography skills and other ancillary investigations. Medical management where possible could reduce the risk of intractable haemorrhage and hysterectomy.

We further review available literature while discussing our management. Conclusion: Prompt diagnosis of cervical ectopic pregnancy will require a high index of suspicion alongside appropriate ultrasonography skills and other ancillary investigations. Medical management where possible could reduce the risk of intractable haemorrhage and hysterectomy.
