Abstract

The case of a patient with cervical pregnancy diagnosed by ultrasound (US) at nine weeks of gestation is described. US showed a cavity of 4.5 x 3.5 cm in diameter located on the right lateral wall of the cervix containing trophoblasts. In order to preserve the patient's fertility conservative treatment was administered: methotrexate (MTX), ligature of the uterine arteries, and hysterosuction. Due to intense bleeding uncontrolled by the use of a Foley's catheter total hysterectomy with conservation of the adnexae was performed.
