Abstract:
We present a case of heterotopic cervical pregnancy where intrauterine gestation was preserved successfully. A 40-year-old Japanese woman presented with heterotopic cervical pregnancy after intracytoplasmic sperm injection with elongated spermatid. An ultrasound examination showed heterotopic cervical pregnancy. Intrauterine gestation was preserved successfully with the use of local vasopressin injection, followed by curettage of cervical implantation and local methotrexate injection. The cervical pregnancy resolved, and a healthy full-term infant was delivered. When early diagnosis of a heterotropic cervical pregnancy is made, selective reduction of a cervical implantation might allow preservation of the intrauterine gestation, without hysterectomy.
