Abstract
Traditional management of interstitial pregnancy involves laparotomy with cornual resection. Recent advances in transvaginal ultrasonography and sensitive beta-hCG assays have led to earlier diagnosis of these cases. We report a case of interstitial pregnancy successfully treated with parenteral methotrexate. Prompt recognition of interstitial pregnancy allows conservative approachment and systemic methotrexate presents as an effective and safe option.
