Typical symptoms are pressure in the area of the pelvis, premature membrane rupture, and cervical dilation without uterine contractions. Surgical treatment includes the technique of cervical cerclage. It is usually performed from week 12 to week 16 of pregnancy. This article presents a case of rescue cervical cerclage after 24 weeks gestation and the observance of the pregnancy that followed. The cerclage was successful in prolonging the gestation of the fetus and no post-operative complications occurred due to the operation. The outcome of the pregnancy was a live and healthy baby born at 34 weeks gestation.
