Abstract
- Of all forms of ectopic gestation, the possibility of fertility catastrophe is highest with a cervical pregnancy. Though rare, it is a potentially life-threatening condition. In the past it was diagnosed late, after there was profuse hemorrhage from the cervix and it usually required hysterectomy. With ultrasound, diagnosis can be made earlier and conservative management attempted in order to preserve the reproductive potential. Methotrexate has been used both systemically and intra-amniotically to treat cervical ectopic gestation conservatively.
