Abstract

This case report of a 36-year-old woman with a diagnosis of cervical pregnancy describes a novel approach to this rare form of ectopic pregnancy, which was successfully treated with systemic and local methotrexate (MTX) therapy combined with hysteroscopic resection. After local and systemic administration of MTX, the patient underwent hysteroscopic resection of the cervical pregnancy using a 27 bipolar resectoscope with a 4-mm loop. The cervical pregnancy was completely treated, and satisfactory hemostasis was achieved with electrocoagulation. The reported case and literature review demonstrate that the combination of systemic and local (hysteroscopic) administration of MTX with hysteroscopic resection could offer the possibility of a safe, successful, minimally invasive, and fertility-sparing surgical treatment for cervical pregnancy.

Highlights

  • Cervical pregnancy (CP) is a rare form of ectopic pregnancy associated with high morbidity and mortality rate [1]

  • Because of profuse vascularization and strong blood flow of cervical tissue, CP was often associated with massive hemorrhage, which often led to life-threatening complications and necessitated emergency hysterectomy

  • Diagnosis is associated with decrease in morbidity, once treatment options are capable of preserving the uterus and subsequent fertility [4]
