Abstract:
Cervical pregnancy is a rare form of ectopic gestation and it can cause serious bleeding, shock and death. Although hysterectomies are still performed due to massive hemorrhages, there are some conservative approaches to cervical pregnancies to conserve fertility. Methotrexate is a very useful agent in the management of trophoblastic disease, and has been utilized recently for the successful management of tubal, interstitial, and cervical ectopic gestations. We report a case of viable cervical pregnancy treated successfully with intraamniotic injection of methotrexate guided by transabdominal ultrasonography.
