Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Cervical pregnancy is a rare kind of intrauterine ectopic pregnancy. Diagnosis and treatment of cervical pregnancy have enormously changed in the last 15 years. Before 1980, diagnosis was made when dilation and curettage for presumed incomplete abortion resulted in sudden and uncontrollable hemorrhage. Hysterectomy was practiced in order to save the patient's life. Today, cervical pregnancy is diagnosed by ultrasound (US) during the Ist trimester of pregnancy, so that the patient's fertility can be preserved. Therefore any physician should consider the possibility of a cervical pregnancy in a woman with abdominal pain and vaginal bleeding during the first trimester of pregnancy. In this study we reviewed the literature on the epidemiology, etiology, diagnosis and treatments of cervical pregnancy. |
