Cervical Pregnancy
📋Overview
Cervical Pregnancy is a rare clinical variation of ectopic gestation characterized by the implantation of an embryo within the cervix, which is the lower, narrow portion of the uterus. This condition is recognized as a distinct entity from more common ectopic pregnancies that typically occur in the fallopian tubes.
In this specific type of gestation, the embryo attaches to the lining of the cervical canal instead of the uterine cavity. Because the cervix is not designed to support the growth of a developing fetus, the pregnancy cannot proceed normally and is considered a serious medical concern.
