Arteriovenous Malformation Following Conservative Management of Cervical Pregnancy.

BACKGROUND

Medical management using potassium chloride feticide and methotrexate is often the first-line approach to cervical pregnancies.

CASE: A 25-year-old woman presenting with a cervical ectopic pregnancy was unsuccessfully managed with conservative therapy, resulting in an arteriovenous malformation requiring a laparoscopic hysterectomy.

CONCLUSION

Conservative management of ectopic pregnancies is the treatment of choice for young women looking to preserve fertility. However, medical management is not without risk, and this case illustrates one such complication.
