Iqbal S, Iqbal J, Nowshad N and Mohammad K

Cervical ectopic pregnancies account for less than 1% of all pregnancies. Earlier, it was associated with significant hemorrhage and was treated presumptively with hysterectomy. With the advent of enhanced ultrasound techniques, early detection of these pregnancies has led to the development of more effective conservative management. We present a case of a cervical ectopic pregnancy successfully treated with multi-dose Methotrexate therapy.

A 37-year-old lady, G3P0+2, pregnant for 9 weeks and 4 days, presented with bleeding per vagina, mild lower abdomen and back pain. Serum Beta-hCG done 5 days ago was 950 mIU/mL. She was diagnosed as ectopic cervical pregnancy by clinical examination which was confirmed by transvaginal ultrasonography and subsequently managed by Methotrexate (MTX) Hybrid double dose protocol. Due to rising Beta-hCG and continuous bleeding, it was modified to Multi dose Methotrexate Therapy. Thereafter, the patient was asymptomatic with falling beta-hCG and she was put on a weekly follow up in the clinic.
