Background:
Cervical ectopic pregnancy is a rare type of ectopic pregnancy (less than one percent of all ectopic pregnancies).
Objective:
Assess the efficacy of the treatment options available.
Material And Methods:
Retrospective study of the cervical ectopic pregnancies treated in our hospital from January 2005 to December 2011.
Results:
Three patients were diagnosed cervical ectopic pregnancy in our hospital during that period, that is, an incidence of 1.7 per 10,000 gestations. The main symptom was a moderate-to-severe genital hemorrhage. In two of the cases a single dose of 50 mg/cm2 methotrexate was administered, and in the third one, curettage and uterine arterial embolization were performed. Histerectomy was not necessary in either of the cases.
Conclusion:
Conservative management of cervical ectopic pregnancy is an effective and safe option.
