Cervical pregnancy is the rarest form of ectopic pregnancy, in which the embryo implants and grows within the endocervical canal, like all ectopic pregnancies, can rupture acutely and are the main cause of maternal death in the first trimester of pregnancy, so early recognition and accurate location have significant clinical implications on morbidity and mortality in pregnant women. The aim of this study was to describe a clinical case of cervical ectopic pregnancy, successfully managed with conservative surgical treatment. Relevant aspects about this pathological clinical condition and the importance of timely diagnosis and treatment are described. Informed consent was requested from the patient.
Authorization was obtained from the Department of Teaching and Research, allowing the review of clinical history and images for the publication of the case. The present study concludes that cervical ectopic pregnancy is a rare pathological condition with a very high mortality rate if not diagnosed and treated in time. Its management will depend on the hemodynamic state of the patient and her desire to preserve fertility
