Abstract/OtherAbstract:
A cervical pregnancy is an uncommon ectopic pregnancy that accounts for less than 1% of such gestations. This condition is associated with an extremely high risk of massive hemorrhage and previously often required hysterectomy. The current diagnostic modality of this potentially life-threatening condition is transvaginal sonography, supported at times by magnetic resonance imaging. The definitive diagnostic imaging feature of a cervical pregnancy is the location of a gestational sac in the cervix in the presence of a closed internal uterine cervical os. We report the 3-dimensional transvaginal sonographic findings of a cervical pregnancy at 6 weeks' gestation.
