Cervical ectopic pregnancy--case report

A case is described of an early cervical pregnancy in a 30-year-old patient following curettage 6 months previously for an inevitable abortion. The condition was managed initially by suction aspiration, but further curettage with circumsuture of the cervix was required for delayed haemorrhage. The condition was suspected at laparoscopy and confirmed by ultrasonic scan. Laparoscopy indicated that the gestation sac was below the level of the uterine vessels, and was thus of prognostic as well as diagnostic value.
