Treating cornual pregnancy with a single methotrexate injection: a report of 3 cases.
BACKGROUND
Cornual pregnancy is a rare type of ectopic pregnancy. Methotrexate (MTX) has been used successfully for the treatment of tubal pregnancies; however, its use for interstitial pregnancies is less common.


METHODS
Three cases of cornual pregnancy were successfully treated with a single MTX injection (50 mg/m2), without complications.


CONCLUSIONS
A single MTX injection as medical treatment is an alternative to surgical treatment of cornual pregnancies.
