[Conservative treatment of ectopic pregnancies and presentation of a complicated case of peritonitis due to methotrexate].
Due to the improvement of diagnostic procedures and the refinement of endoscopic methods, the treatment of ectopic pregnancy has more and more turned against salpingectomy and towards organ-preserving actions. Moreover, for some years a range of medical therapies has been offering an alternative to surgical intervention. In addition to presenting a review of conservative methods of treatment, we report on a patient with an angular pregnancy who was treated with methotrexate and developed a pronounced peritonitis.
