Cervical pregnancy is defined as the implantation of the egg below of the internal\ncervical orifice, and remains a rare clinical entity which affects on average\n1 out of 20,000 pregnancies worldwide. Its hemorrhagic complications\nare life-threatening in case of late diagnosis. It occurs mainly on a history of\ncurettage or caesarian which are the most recognized risk factors. The objective\npursued here is to discuss the possibility of the occurrence of this rare\nclinical entity in a primigravida without risk factors and the different therapeutic\npossibilities according to the technical platforms. Authors report a case\nof cervical pregnancy at 6 weeksâ?? gestation occurring in a primigravida without\nrisk factors who consulted at University clinics of Kinshasa (UCK) for a\ngenital hemorrhage chart. The diagnosis was made using ultrasound and\ntreatment provided by curettage followed by the placement of an intra-\ncervical foley tube for hemostatic purposes. Given its high mortality, the\ndiagnosis must be early even in pregnant women without obvious risk factors.\nThe diversity of therapeutic means gives practitioners a choice depending on\nthe technical platform.
