title: Recurrent cornual pregnancy after heterotopic cornual pregnancy successfully treated with systemic methotrexate.
abstract: This report concerns a recurrent spontaneous cornual pregnancy 2 years after selective feticide of a heterotopic cornual pregnancy which occurred after IVF for tubal pathology. The recurrent cornual pregnancy was treated successfully with systemic methotrexate. Assisted reproductive techniques, especially in patients with tubal pathology, and non-invasive management of cornual pregnancies may lead to a higher incidence of recurrence.
