First-trimester diagnosed cervico-isthmic pregnancy resulting in term delivery

Obstet Gynecol. 1992 Sep;80(3 Pt 2):517-9.

Abstract

A 30-year-old multiparous woman at 5.5 weeks' gestation was diagnosed by ultrasound to have a cervical pregnancy. She refused termination because of religious beliefs. After expectant management until 38 weeks' gestation, she delivered a viable infant by cesarean, followed by immediate hysterectomy. Pathologic examination verified cervico-isthmic implantation as well as placenta percreta.
