Successful Management of Three Consecutive Cervical Pregnancy in the Same Patient- a Case Report

Ectopic cervical pregnancy is an infrequent complication of the early gestation. Despite tremendous development in the management of ectopic pregnancy, there still lies dilemma in the diagnosis and management of cervical ectopic pregnancy. Traditionally dilation and evacuation has been used in the successful management of these kind of ectopic gestation. In this case report we describe an uncommon case of recurrent ectopic pregnancy and subsequent management.

Cervical ectopic pregnancy

We performed dilation and curettage and cervical balloon placement in a cervical ectopic pregnancy after treatment with Methotrexate, KCI and bilateral uterine artery embolization. A minimally invasive approach was used in the case as the patient desired future fertility. We present the potential challenges in management of cervical ectopic pregnancy as well as approaches to treatment.

Uterin artery embolisation: a rescuer in cervical ectopic pregnancy

Cervical ectopic pregnancy is an extremely rare form of ectopic pregnancy with potential risk of massive bleeding and associated morbidity. Managing this condition is challenging for clinicians due to the serious risk to patient and dilemma faced in deciding the appropriate management plan. This case report describes the role of uterine artery embolisation in managing a case of cervical ectopic pregnancy with heavy bleeding per vaginum post methotrexate treatment with falling beta human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) levels. It highlights the unpredictable nature of this condition and need for prompt intervention in an emergency situation.
