Background: Multifetal cervical pregnancy is very rare. We are reporting a case of a triplet cervical pregnancy that was treated with direct intraamniotic instillation of methotrexate.

Case: A young multiparous woman was diagnosed as having three gestational sacs in her uterine cervix with embryonic cardiac activity observed within one of the sacs. She became pregnant by natural ovulation and coitus. After initial failure with a single-dose intramuscular injection, the patient was successfully treated with an intra-amniotic methotrexate injection under the guidance of transvaginal ultrasonography. Her reproductive capability was preserved.

Conclusion: Direct intraamniotic injection can be considered as treatment for multifetal cervical pregnancy.
