Case Report: Cervical Ectopic Pregnancy

Abstract

Cervical Ectopic pregnancy is the rare implantation of a pregnancy in the endocervical canal. It accounts for less than 1 % of all ectopic pregnancies. The patients usually present with vaginal bleeding. Transvaginal ultrasound is an important component of the diagnosis. The sonographic criteria include an empty uterus, an enlarged barrel shaped cervix, a gestational sac completely within the cervical canal with or without cardiac activity. Early diagnosis and treatment is critical to avoid serious complications such as severe haemorrhage and the need for hysterectomy. The most appropriate treatment depends upon the clinical presentation. We present a case report of a cervical ectopic pregnancy in a young lady of 31 years at early gestation of 5+ weeks. She presented to EPAU with history of mild bleeding per vagina. Our case report highlights the successful diagnosis, management and difficulties of this rare condition.
