Area of Science:

  • Obstetrics and Gynecology
  • Reproductive Medicine
  • Maternal-Fetal Medicine

Background:

  • Cervical pregnancy historically necessitated hysterectomy due to high mortality rates (up to 60%).
  • Conservative management strategies have evolved over the past 15 years to preserve fertility.
  • Methotrexate (MTX) has emerged as a primary agent for treating early-stage cervical pregnancies.

Observation:

  • This report details a successful case of cervical pregnancy managed conservatively.
  • The treatment involved a combination of methotrexate therapy and surgical curettage.
  • Diagnosis and treatment monitoring utilized serial beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (β-HCG) measurements and ultrasonography.

Findings:

  • The combined therapy effectively treated the cervical pregnancy.
  • The patient's reproductive capability was successfully preserved.
  • Methotrexate demonstrates high efficacy, particularly between 6-8 weeks of gestation, up to 13 weeks.

Implications:

  • This approach offers a viable alternative to hysterectomy for cervical pregnancies.
  • Early and accurate diagnosis is paramount for successful conservative treatment outcomes.
  • Preserving fertility in patients with cervical pregnancy is achievable with modern therapeutic strategies.
