Two adolescents with ectopic pregnancies: experience with methotrexate.

An ectopic pregnancy is a life-threatening form of pregnancy that is increasing in frequency especially in adolescents. Whenever a woman of childbearing age, including adolescents, presents with abdominal pain, the diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy must be considered as a possibility because if it is not diagnosed and treated expediously and appropriately, there will be considerable morbidity and mortality. Methotrexate has been shown to be effective in the management of ectopic pregnancy, but few reports are described in the literature regarding its use in teenagers. We report the cases of 2 adolescents with ectopic pregnancies who were treated successfully with methotrexate.
