BORGES FERNANDEZ, Robinson et al. Cervical Ectopic Pregnancy. Rev Cubana Obstet Ginecol [online]. 2019, vol.45, n.1, pp. 74-85.  Epub Mar 01, 2019. ISSN 1561-3062.

Cervical ectopic pregnancy accounts for about 0.1% of all ectopic pregnancies. The incidence is estimated at 1: 2500 to 1: 98,000 pregnancies. It is a strange phenomenon; however, morbidity and mortality from this cause are high, but early diagnosis can help reducing. It is extremely dangerous because the trophoblast can reach the uterine vessels through the thin cervical wall and cause a severe and incoercible hemorrhage that, even today, usually ends in mutilating surgeries that will limit future reproduction. At present, no clear criteria in the literature help decision-making. We report a case of cervical pregnancy successfully treated by total abdominal hysterectomy and subsequent follow-up in the Intensive Care Unit. We present some criteria that could help timely diagnosing this devastating entity to reduce morbidity and mortality and improve the later reproductive possibilities of women.

Keywords : cervical ectopic pregnancy; criteria; to diagnose.
