  ABSTRACT: Cervical pregnancy is defined as the implantation of the egg below of the internal cervical orifice, and remains a rare clinical entity which affects on average 1 out of 20,000 pregnancies worldwide. Its hemorrhagic complications are life-threatening in case of late diagnosis. It occurs mainly on a history of curettage or caesarian which are the most recognized risk factors. The objective pursued here is to discuss the possibility of the occurrence of this rare clinical entity in a primigravida without risk factors and the different therapeutic possibilities according to the technical platforms. Authors report a case of cervical pregnancy at 6 weeks’ gestation occurring in a primigravida without risk factors who consulted at University clinics of Kinshasa (UCK) for a genital hemorrhage chart. The diagnosis was made using ultrasound and treatment provided by curettage followed by the placement of an intra-cervical foley tube for hemostatic purposes. Given its high mortality, the diagnosis must be early even in pregnant women without obvious risk factors. The diversity of therapeutic means gives practitioners a choice depending on the technical platform.
