title: [The treatment of ectopic pregnancy with local and intramuscular methotrexate or expectant management].
abstract: Ten patients with ectopic pregnancy, probably non complicated, diagnosed by transvaginal sonography and serial determinations of subunit B of human chorionic gonadotrophin, were treated with a single injection of methotrexate intraovular (5 cases), intramuscular (3 cases) or with expectant management. We obtained clinical resolution and undetectable hormone levels in seven patients and three underwent additional surgery.
