Successful pregnancy after previous conservative treatment of an advanced cervical pregnancy.

Cervical pregnancy was diagnosed at 12 weeks' gestation in a young nulliparous woman presenting with vaginal bleeding. Initial treatment with methotrexate was unsuccessful. The patient was ultimately treated by internal iliac artery ligation, hysterotomy, and intracervical balloon tamponade. Nineteen months after surgery, the patient delivered a healthy infant at 36 weeks' gestation by cesarean section.
