Abstract/OtherAbstract:
BACKGROUND: Cervical pregnancy is potentially associated with life-threatening hemorrhage and often requires hysterectomy to stop the bleeding. Conservative management is becoming more common as treatment of cervical pregnancy. CASE: A case of cervical pregnancy presented with a severe vaginal hemorrhage at 6 weeks' gestation. The patient was conservatively managed with selective bilateral uterine artery embolization (UAE). The vaginal bleeding stopped completely after UAE. The clinical course was uneventful and serum human chorionic gonadotropin decreased immediately. The cervical mass gradually shrank and disappeared on the 31st day after UAE. UAE. CONCLUSION: This was the second case of cervical pregnancy successfully treated with only UAE.
