Cervical ectopic pregnancy: results of conservative treatment.

Abstract

When cervical ectopic pregnancy is diagnosed early, US-guided termination or other conservative procedures allow preservation of the uterus, thus maintaining potential fertility.

The conservative management of cervical ectopic pregnancies

“…Whilst conservative surgical approaches such as dilatation and curettage and uterine artery ligation have been shown to be successful in certain cases 41 , the antimetabolite cytotoxic drug methotrexate now plays a pivotal role in the conservative management of ectopic pregnancy. In our series, six of the seven women initially received a single intramuscular injection, the alternate day regimen of methotrexate, or intra-amniotic methotrexate.…”

Near‐fatal uterine hemorrhage during induction chemotherapy for acute myeloid leukemia: A case report of bilateral uterine artery embolization

“…Embolotherapy has subsequently been used to control hemorrhage or blunt the clinical consequences of arteriovenous (AV) malformations occurring in several anatomic sites [22,23] and for cervical pregnancies [24][25][26][27]. Recently, this technique has been adopted to treat bleeding uterine leiomyomas (uterine fibroids) [28,29].…”

Transvaginal colour Doppler diagnosis and assessment of a heterotopic cervical pregnancy terminated by forceps evacuation following in vitro fertilisation and embryo transfer

“…A heterotopic cervical pregnancy with an intrauterine gestation is the rarest form of ectopic pregnancy following in vitro fertilisation and embryo transfer. Only a few case reports have been published in the literature regarding the early diagnosis of heterotopic cervical pregnancy and possible methods to preserve the intrauterine pregnancy 3 . We report the first case of heterotopic cervical pregnancy and intrauterine twin gestation that was diagnosed by transvaginal colour Doppler as early as five weeks of gestation, and a new surgical technique to terminate the cervical pregnancy.…”
