Cervical pregnancy managed by suction evacuation and balloon tamponade.
A woman with a very poor obstetric history with a cervical pregnancy was managed without hysterectomy. Diagnosis was made by the transvaginal ultrasound. Haemorrhage was controlled by suction evacuation and balloon tamponade. Although cervical perforation occurred, the tamponade was able to control haemorrhage after repair of the perforation.
