Management of cervical pregnancy: risk factors for failed systemic methotrexate

Cervical pregnancy is a rare obstetrical complication. Conservative management with systemic methotrexate has been reported to be successful, obviating the need for surgical treatment which entails a risk for hysterectomy. We report the case of a nulliparous patient with a cervical pregnancy diagnosed at 9 weeks' gestation who after systemic methotrexate treatment necessitated conservative surgical management. This patient highlights the utility of identified risk factors for failure of methotrexate treatment.
