Case report: pregnancy in the cervical isthmus following in vitro fertilization.

Abstract

Low implantation ectopic pregnancy includes cervical pregnancy, located between the isthmus and the cesarean scar. It is characterized by implantation of the blastocyst outside the uterine cavity. This condition occurs in 1% to 2% of all pregnancies and is the leading cause of maternal death in the first trimester of gestation. It has a low incidence compared to other locations, and a high risk of maternal morbidity due to the probability of bleeding during the intervention. We present a case of a cervical isthmic ectopic pregnancy following in vitro fertilization in a 37 year old woman with a history of cesarean section, last 17 years ago, and surgical sterilization at the Hospital Militar Central de Bogotá. The objective is to document the process and the interventions, since the management of this pathology depends on the clinical conditions and the woman's desire to reproduce.
