Intrauterine pregnancy after treatment of tubal pregnancy with local and systemic prostaglandins in a patient with a single oviduct.
A spontaneous intrauterine pregnancy occurred after instillation of prostaglandin-F2 alpha into the solitary tube and systemic prostaglandin administration for treatment of an ectopic gestation. This is the first unequivocal proof of intact function of the affected tube after non-surgical treatment of a tubal pregnancy with prostaglandins.
