Failure of Single‐Dose Methotrexate in a Cornual Pregnancy and Successful Laparoscopic Wedge Resection: A Case Report

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Early sonographic diagnosis of cornual pregnancy is vital, yet medical therapy with single-dose methotrexate carries a considerable failure rate. Prompt transition to laparoscopic resection when beta-HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin hormone) plateaus or clinical status deteriorates averts catastrophic rupture while preserving fertility.
