Abstract :
Cervical ectopic pregnancy (EP) is an infrequent, life-threatening form of ectopic gestation
pregnancy that implants within the endocervical canal. With the increase in use of assisted
reproductive technology (ART) worldwide and more liberal use of transvaginal sonography (TVS)
during early pregnancy, more cases of cervical ectopic pregnancy are being diagnosed. Early
diagnosis of this condition by using ultrasound imaging allows for prevention of maternal morbidity
due to hemorrhage and leads to conservative management of this condition.We present the case of
a 38-year old woman (gravida 1, para 0) who was found to have acervical ectopic pregnancy at six
weeks of gestation.
