Cervical ectopic pregnancy is a rare diagnosis, occurring in 0.01% of all pregnancies and accounting for less than 1% of all ectopic pregnancies. This condition involves implantation within the cervical canal and carries a significant risk of catastrophic haemorrhage, morbidity, and mortality due to the cervix's rich vascularization and resistance to uterotonics. Early and accurate diagnosis, often via transvaginal ultrasound, is essential to guide management and minimize complications. This article provides a comprehensive review of cervical ectopic pregnancy, covering its background, diagnostic challenges, and management options. It explores medical approaches, such as systemic and local methotrexate, surgical interventions including suction aspiration, hysteroscopic management, and prophylactic cerclage, as well as emerging therapies. Fertility considerations, limitations of existing evidence, and recommendations for future research are also discussed. A case-based perspective highlights these principles, offering insights into clinical decision-making for this rare and complex condition.
