Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Cervical pregnancy is a rare form of ectopic pregnancy and at present there is no consensus as to the most appropriate treatment. A patient with a 6-week cervical pregnancy was successfully treated with a single intravenous administration of methotrexate and oral folinic acid without any adjuvant therapy Her recovery was uncomplicated. She subsequently conceived and was delivered by Caesarean section of a live healthy male baby. The efficacy of the described regimen in the management of a cervical pregnancy requires further assessment. This modality of treatment does not appear to adversely affect fertility and future pregnancies.
