Cervical Ectopic Pregnancy

Abstract

Cervical ectopic pregnancy is the implantation of embryo at the cervical internal hole or below. Case report: A case of cervical ectopic pregnancy is described in a 43-year-old patient with obstetric history of three gestations, one childbirth by means of cesarean surgery 19 years ago and one induced abortion. The cervical ectopic pregnancies represent 0,1 % of ectopic pregnancies and its diagnosis is carried out through clinical exam, ultrasonography and specific anatomic pathological approaches. When treating childbearing-age women who attend consultation due to vaginal bleeding or abdominal pain, doctors must always keep in mind this condition, especially if they have risk factors. The management of this condition is closely related with the gestational age, clinical conditions and the patient's parity. Its treatment is now controverted since it is rare. The medical action is emergent in complicated cases, because hemorrhage can lead to mother´s death.
