English abstract
Cervical pregnancy is a rare form of ectopic pregnancy in which
the pregnancy implants in the lining of the endocervical canal.
It is hazardous because the trophoblast can penetrate through
the cervical wall and into the uterine blood supply. Increased
awareness of the condition has resulted in a number of recent
reports. Incidence is 1:9000 deliveries. It accounts for less than1%
of ectopic pregnancies. The cause is unknown. Here we present one
such case of cervical pregnancy which was managed successfully in
Buraimi Hospital.
