Abstract

Cervical ectopic gestation is a serious and potentially lethal condition considered exceptional in in vitro fertilization. Early diagnosis is critical to successful treatment and preservation of fertility. We report a rare case of cervical pregnancy after in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer, successfully treated exclusively with electrical aspiration. Case report: A 36-year-old patient attended the Department of Human Reproduction at Pérola Byington Hospital in 2015 due to primary infertility with no apparent cause for seven years. Subjected to ovulation induction with recombinant depot FSH and GnRh analogue, triggered with chorionic gonadotropin. It evolved with the collection of ten oocytes and transfer of two embryos, with cryopreservation of the remaining ones. The control with serial ultrasound showed a gestational sac in uterine cervix topography, indicating gestation of six weeks, confirmed after 24 hours by a second operator. The treatment was successfully performed by electric aspiration with an EasyGrip® cannula of 6 mm in diameter, without the occurrence of hemorrhage or the need for other procedures. Early diagnosis allowed successful conservative treatment with only cervical aspiration. The literature review confirms the rarity of the case, but does not indicate consensus on the best treatment of cervical ectopic pregnancy.
