Abstract

The increasing incidence of cervical pregnancies may be attributed to increased use of artificial reproductive techniques and diagnostic improvements. Historically surgery has been the mainstay of treatment, usually with a poor prognosis. Recently there has been a trend toward conservative management with improved prognosis. Spontaneous abortion of a cervical pregnancy is usually associated with profuse haemorrhage or sepsis. A case undergoing spontaneous abortion without any life-threatening sequelae is presented.
