Abstract
Cervical cerclage has been used in the management of cervical insufficiency for several decades, yet the indications are uncertain and benefits
questionable. It remains a controversial intervention. We present a case of cervical incompetence in a 33‑year‑old Gravida 5 Para 0+4 woman
who had an emergency cervical cerclage at 18 weeks gestation and subsequently delivered of a live male infant at 29 weeks gestation following
preterm premature rupture of fetal membrane.
