Abstract
Background: Cervical ectopic pregnancy is a rare obstetric emergency commonly associated with adverse outcomes because of the diagnostic and treatment challenges it poses.
Case presentation: We report a referred case of cervical ectopic diagnosed using transabdominal and transvaginal ultrasound scan which was successfully managed conservatively with methotrexate. We further review available literature while discussing our management.
Conclusion: Prompt diagnosis of cervical ectopic pregnancy will require a high index of suspicion alongside appropriate ultrasonography skills and other ancillary investigations. Medical management where possible could reduce the risk of intractable haemorrhage and hysterectomy.
