Systemic methotrexate and folic acid successfully treated a cervical pregnancy. Monitoring included hormone levels, Doppler velocimetry, and hysteroscopy, showing medical management is a viable option for this ectopic pregnancy.

Area of Science:

Reproductive Medicine
Gynecologic Oncology

Background:

Cervical ectopic pregnancies are rare and associated with significant maternal morbidity.
Surgical management historically carries high risks, necessitating exploration of alternative treatments.

Observation:

A case of cervical pregnancy was managed using systemic methotrexate and folic acid.
Therapy was monitored using serial beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (β-hCG) levels, color Doppler velocimetry, and hysteroscopy.

Findings:

Successful treatment of cervical ectopic pregnancy was achieved with medical management.
The combination of methotrexate and folic acid demonstrated efficacy in resolving the pregnancy.

Implications:

Systemic medical management offers a potentially less invasive treatment option for cervical ectopic pregnancy.
