Abstract

116ervical pregnancy is usually considered as a life threatening event. It is a rare form of ectopic gestation and accounts for less than 1% of all pregnancies.1 Cervical pregnancy was defined as implantation of the gestation in the endocervical canal. The incidence is approximately 1 in 2500-12000 pregnancies.2 It is a well known complication of ART procedures. Early diagnosis is important and allows conservative treatment option to preserve fertility. Hysterectomy was the only treatment for cervical pregnancy in the past.2 Current treatment modalities include aspiration curettage with hypogastric/uterine artery embolization, curettage and local prostoglandin injection, insertion of foley catheter in the cervical canal after curettage , local administration of methotrexate (MTX) with/without local potassium chloride, systemic administration of MTX and hysterescopic resection of the gestation in conjuction with uterine artery embolization.
