Am J Obstet Gynecol. 2003 Sep;189(3):886-7. doi: 10.1067/s0002-9378(03)00121-2.

Abstract

In asymptomatic patients with an early gestation located in a noncommunicating rudimentary horn, methotrexate may provide another treatment option or act as a useful adjunct to surgical intervention. We present a case of a successful pregnancy termination of a gestation located in a noncommunicating rudimentary horn with subsequent elective laparoscopic resection.
