Cervical ectopic pregnancy: a case report.
A 24 year old Nigerian woman with cervical pregnancy, a very rare type of ectopic pregnancy, is presented. The disorder can be life-threatening and usually there is difficulty in differentiating it from the cervical phase of an incomplete abortion as well as bleeding cervical fibroid. Ultrasound scan has been found helpful in the diagnosis of cervical ectopic pregnancy. The conservative management and the possible alternative surgical management, based on the clinical presentation, are discussed.
