title: [Contribution to cervical pregnancy].
abstract: It is reported on a rare case of cervical pregnancy as a dangerous form of ectopic pregnancy. Etiology of this case is described only hypothetically like in literature. Clinical diagnosis always is difficult and was made seldom prior to operation. By ultrasonics cervical pregnancy diagnosis is possible if it is considered. On the other hand even that can mislead as cases from literature and our case show. For prognosis the same principles are applicable as with any other ectopic pregnancy--it must be finished definitely a certain number of pregnancies carried to term can be found in literature. Mortality has been reduced by the generally improved operation conditions. Primary hysterectomy has proven therapy of choice. Conserving uterus after ligature or embolisation of the internal iliac artery seems to be justified only in exceptional cases. In early pregnancy up to the 8th gestational week vacuum extraction or curettage can be tried.
