摘要：

Cornual ectopic pregnancies are rare but can be fatal. Use of a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan has been reported in the diagnosis of a cornual ectopic pregnancy, but this is not commonplace. Intramuscular methotrexate is commonly used to treat cornual ectopic pregnancies; however, this is not recommended if the human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) level is greater than 3,000 IU/l. We describe a case where MRI was used to make a diagnosis and intramuscular methotrexate was successfully administered at an HCG level greater than 3,000 IU/l.
