Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Cervical pregnancy is a rare form of ectopic pregnancy. Its treatment has been described by different authors. We report our successful experience of a cervical twin pregnancy that was diagnosed by transabdominal and transvaginal ultrasound and confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging. To preserve fertility, our patient was treated by a bilateral hyperselective uterine artery embolization followed by dilatation and curettage of the cervical canal without ancillary procedures for cervical hemostasis. Arterial embolization by a resorbable agent reduces arterial circulation by providing a temporary occlusion of the vessels in order to decrease the risk of massive hemorrhage. |
