Abstract

Ectopic pregnancies implanted in the cervix account for less than 1 percent of all extra-uterine pregnancies. Due to the limited incidence of cervical ectopic pregnancies, there are no established guidelines for medical versus surgical management. We report a case of a cervical ectopic pregnancy with a fetal heartbeat successfully treated with single dose methotrexate therapy.
