Live tubal ectopic pregnancy managed with localised injection of methotrexate into gestational sac

Abstract

Ectopic pregnancy is a pregnancy outside the uterine cavity and is, in majority of cases, a non-viable pregnancy. There are multiple methods of managing patients with ectopic pregnancy including expectant, medical and surgical management. Live tubal ectopic pregnancies, also known as ectopic pregnancies present in the fallopian tube with fetal heartbeat still present, are most commonly treated via surgical route. This case outlines the presentation and an unusual method of management of a patient diagnosed with a live tubal ectopic pregnancy with extensive medical and surgical history.
