Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Use of in vitro fertilization techniques increases the frequency of pathological implantation. However, simultaneous pregnancies are a rarity. Ectopic implantation of the embryo may occur in the cervical canal. This is the first case report, which describes successful management of an intrauterine twin pregnancy which occurred simultaneously with a cervical pregnancy. Diagnostic and therapeutic options are discussed along with the outcome of pregnancies. The cervical pregnancy was removed by aspiration, without dilation of cervical canal, which saved the lives of intrauterine fetuses and preserved fertility for following pregnancies. Finally we review the advanced methods in the literature.
