Objective:
To describe a cervical intramural ectopic pregnancy.
Design:
Case report.
Setting:
Maternity hospital.
Patient(S):
A 28-year-old multiparous woman was seen with vaginal bleeding and a positive urinary pregnancy test after delayed menstruation. Ultrasonography and pelvic examination revealed an empty uterine cavity and a hyperechoic focus within an enlarged cyanotic anterior cervical lip. Vaginal bleeding was controlled with aspiration curettage; however, macroscopic and ultrasonographic views of the cervix remained the same. One week later the anterior cervical lip was found to be ruptured.
Intervention(S):
Decidual tissue was removed from the ruptured area.
Main Outcome Measure(S):
Histopathologic confirmation of chorionic villi and presence of a connection between the endocervix and the ruptured area.
Result(S):
No connection was found with the endocervical channel when controlled with a 1-mm Hegar uterine dilator, and histopathologic examination of removed materials revealed chorionic villi.
Conclusion(S):
The cervical intramural ectopic pregnancy is an extraordinary clinical situation and might lead to diagnostic and therapeutic challenges.
