Abstract: 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.<br />Cases: Three cases of cornual pregnancy were successfully treated with a single MTX injection (50 mg/m2), without complications.<br />Conclusion: A single MTX injection as medical treatment is an alternative to surgical treatment of cornual pregnancies.
