Abstract
This report describes a woman with cornual pregnancy, documented by ultrasonography and laparoscopy, who was successfully treated with two doses of methotrexate under laparoscopic and ultrasonographic guidance. The serum beta human chorionic gonadotropin level was 20,000 mIU/ml and increased to 43,800 mIU/ml after the first methotrexate injection and to 44,400 mIU/ml after second injection and fell precipitously to nonpregnant levels within 27 days. No side effects were experienced by the patient.Keywords
