title: Combined medical-hysteroscopic conservative treatment of a viable cervical pregnancy: A case report.
abstract: Cervical pregnancy (CP) is an uncommon ectopic pregnancy that accounts for approximately less than 1% of extrauterine gestations. This case report describes a case of a viable ectopic CP successfully treated with systemic methotrexate therapy combined with hysteroscopic local endocervical resection of the heterotopic gestational sac. This approach, if validated, could be considered the treatment of choice to preserve the uterus in these young patients.
