Abstract
We report a case of cervical ectopic pregnancy that was diagnosed using transabdominal ultrasound. Conservative management with methotrexate administration was undertaken and, following a period of heavy bleeding, bilateral uterine artery embolization was performed. Two weeks after presentation, the gestational sac was shown to have reduced in size. We describe the ultrasound findings in this case and discuss those reported in the literature along with the available management options. Copyright © 2002 ISUOGKeywords
