Abstract:
Heterotopic pregnancies are rare and difficult to be diagnosed early. A patient with combined intrauterine pregnancy and cervical pregnancy was admitted in Qingdao Municipal Hospital in 2019. The patient complained of abnormal vaginal bleeding after menopause and was misdiagnosed as simple intrauterine pregnancy. She underwent artificial abortion and suffered intraoperative hemorrhage. To stop bleeding, she received the treatment of uterine artery embolization immediately. Afterwards, cervical residual pregnancy tissues started necrosis, blood β-human chorionic gonadotropin level and the cervix appearance gradually returned to normal. This report suggests that cervical heterotopic pregnancy inclines to be mis diagnosed. Correct diagnosis should be made as soon as possible. Selective uterine artery embolization is an effective measure to prevent and treat massive bleeding.
