Abstract:
Cervical ectopic pregnancy (CEP) is a rare and challenging condition that requires prompt management to prevent complications. We present a case of a 27-year-old woman with a history of prior uterine surgeries who presented with vaginal spotting. Ultrasonography revealed an empty uterine cavity and a growing gestational sac with a viable foetus in the cervical canal. Despite methotrexate therapy, her beta-human chorionic gonadotropin hCG levels continued to rise, necessitating an alternative treatment approach. Bilateral uterine artery embolisation (UAE) was performed to reduce the risk of haemorrhage before hysteroscopic resection of the pregnancy. The combined approach of UAE and hysteroscopic resection successfully managed the CEP, leading to a favourable outcome. This case highlights the importance of early detection, tailored interventions and multidisciplinary collaboration in the management of CEP. UAE, in conjunction with hysteroscopic resection, offers a promising treatment option for CEP, minimising complications and preserving reproductive health.
