Ectopic pregnancy remains an important diagnosis for the emergency physician to recognize, accounting for up to 2% of all pregnancies and associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Ectopic pregnancies can implant in various sites outside of the uterus, one of the rarest of which is in the cervix. Cervical ectopics account for less than 1% of ectopic pregnancies, but are associated with higher rates of significant bleeding than others1-2.Uterine anomalies are a predisposing factor for ectopic pregnancies. This case highlights the emergency room management of cervical ectopic pregnancy in a 23 year old with a history of uterine didelphys.
