[The clinical picture and pathogenesis of cervical pregnancy]

A report is given on a true cervical pregnancy connected with placenta percreta destruens in the sixth month of pregnancy in a twenty six-years old woman after her first pregnancy had been interrupted. A pathogenetic correlation between the induced abortion and the cervical pregnancy seems to be very probably. A damaged cervix probably offers the fertilized egg a more convenient oppertunity for the nidation. The prognosis of those dramatic ectopic pregnancies firstly depends on the early decision on carrying out hysterectomy in order to stop the dangerous bleeding.
