Cervical Pregnancy : An Uncommon Ectopic Pregnancy

Ectopic implantation of fertilized ovum in cervical canal is both rare and dangerous, since the trophoblast can invade the blood supply [1]. Its incidence is 1:16000 to 1:18000 of all pregnancies [1, 2] and 0.1% of all ectopic pregnancies [1]. Dilatation and curettage (D&C) precedes it in 70% of cases [2]. Japan has a highest incidence of 1:1000, due to is, high incidence of elective abortion in Japan [1].
