Medical management of cervical pregnancy--a report of two cases.
Cervical ectopic pregnancy is a rare life-threatening condition that can be managed conservatively. In this report, the authors describe the use of systemic methotrexate and prostaglandin (sulprostone) in the management of two cases of viable cervical pregnancy. Both cases were successfully treated without the need for surgical intervention.
