Abstract

Cervical pregnancy is one of the most rare and dangerous forms of ectopic pregnancy. It can complicate with massive bleeding and result in life-threatening condition. With the advance of USG technique, we can make an earlier diagnosis and a more conservative management to preserve the fertility potential. We report a case of cervical pregnancy which had high beta-hCG level & fetal heart tone and successfully been treated with dilatation and curettage (D & C) after using color Doppler and local methotrexate (MTX) injection.
