[Cervical pregnancy. A rare entity that should not be missed]

Abstract

The authors report a new case of cervical pregnancy in a primigravid woman of 31 years of age who had had 15 weeks of amenorrhoea. They review the clinical and anatomo-pathological criteria necessary to make the diagnosis. The diagnosis which had become suspected because of ultrasound was confirmed by examination under a general anaesthetic before interrupting pregnancy. Conservative treatment was made possible because there was no very heavy bleeding after the curettage to evacuate the products.
