Abstract

This case report describes a medical treatment of cornual ectopic pregnancy which, in recent studies, was found to be safe, successful and associated with less subsequent complications than the traditional surgical treatment. This cornual pregnancy was diagnosed by a positive high serum 946;-hCG level and laparoscopic examination. Seventy–five mg of Methotrexate was injected in the cornual pregnancy mass. The patient’s condition was followed by sensitive quantitative serum assays and sonographic pictures. The patient was discharged from hospital after seven days in good condition. On follow–up, the cornual ectopic mass disappeared after two months. This was followed by a successful pregnancy and an elective caesarean section delivery of a normal mature baby. Keywords: cornual pregnancy, laparoscopy, Methotrexate (MTX), transvaginal ultrasonography (TVS), 946; human chorionic gonadotropin (946;-hCG
