Cervical Ectopic Pregnancy: A case report and review of literature

Abstract

<jats:p>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.</jats:p>
