title: Cervical incompetence in a pregnancy following a cervical ectopic pregnancy.
abstract: A case of cervical incompetence is reported which occurred in a pregnancy which followed soon after treatment of a cervical ectopic pregnancy using a Foley catheter. Very few pregnancies following cervical pregnancy have been reported. Although this isolated case is clouded by other risk factors, cervical incompetence should be considered as a potential complication of such pregnancies.
