[Conservative treatment of ectopic pregnancies and presentation of a complicated case of peritonitis due to methotrexate]. / Konservative Behandlungsmöglichkeiten ektoper Schwangerschaften und Präsentation eines komplizierten Verlaufes mit einer Peritonitis unter Methotrexat.

Due to the improvement of diagnostic procedures and the refinement of endoscopic methods, the treatment of ectopic pregnancy has more and more turned against salpingectomy and towards organ-preserving actions. Moreover, for some years a range of medical therapies has been offering an alternative to surgical intervention. In addition to presenting a review of conservative methods of treatment, we report on a patient with an angular pregnancy who was treated with methotrexate and developed a pronounced peritonitis.
