Background: Multiple and large cysts, located in the cervical stroma, can cause significant enlargement of the cervix.
Case: A woman with two large intracervical cysts, one complex, underwent evaluation with ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Hysterectomy revealed Nabothian cysts.
Conclusion: In rare cases in which the intracervical cysts assume very large dimensions, ultrasound and MRI can aid diagnosis, but may not always prevent the need for excision or hysterectomy.

An original route for prostaglandin F2 alpha administration for midtrimester pregnancy termination is presented. The diagnosis of nuchal cystic hygroma in a hydropic fetus with severe oligohydramnios was made by real-time ultrasonography. Forty milliliters of fluid was aspirated for laboratory studies and prostaglandin F2 alpha was injected into the nuchal cysts to induce abortion.
