abstract: We describe two cases which demonstrate methotrexate (mtx) to be an effective alternative to surgery in two serious complications of early pregnancy, namely placenta accreta diagnosed at attempted evacuation of retained products of conception and interstitial cornual pregnancy diagnosed at laparoscopy.
