title: Successful methotrexate treatment of an abdominal pregnancy in the pouch of Douglas.
abstract: Abdominal pregnancy is a rare localization of ectopic pregnancy. Early diagnosis and treatment are advised and the choice of treatment is crucial. A successful case of conservative treatment with combined systemic and intra-amniotic methotrexate is presented. This treatment option should be considered in the management of this potentially life-threatening condition.
