A challenging cervical pregnancy case resistant to standard treatment was successfully managed with intra-arterial methotrexate and artery embolization. This highlights a stepwise conservative approach for fertility preservation in cervical pregnancies.

Area of Science:

  • Reproductive Medicine
  • Gynecologic Oncology
  • Vascular Interventions

Background:

  • Cervical pregnancy is a rare form of ectopic pregnancy with limited treatment options.
  • Intramuscular methotrexate is a common first-line therapy, but resistance can occur.
  • Fertility preservation is a key consideration in managing cervical pregnancies.

Observation:

  • A case of cervical pregnancy refractory to intramuscular methotrexate therapy was identified.
  • The patient presented with significant vaginal bleeding.
  • Standard treatment protocols were insufficient for this specific case.

Findings:

  • Successful treatment was achieved using intra-arterial methotrexate administration.
  • Selective prophylactic hypogastric artery embolization was performed to control bleeding.

  • This combined approach avoided hysterectomy and preserved fertility.

    • Implications:

    • A stepwise conservative management strategy is recommended for cervical pregnancies when fertility preservation is desired.
    • Intra-arterial methotrexate and embolization offer a viable alternative to surgery in resistant cases.
    • This approach may improve reproductive outcomes for women with cervical pregnancies.
