Abstract
A unicoronal uterus with a primitive horn, it means that the contralateral side did not fuse properly with the other side,and one of the Mullerian ducts did not fully develop. It is quite uncommon to get pregnant with a noncommunicatingrudimentary horn, and most pregnancies end in rupture in the first or second trimester. It might be challenging to diagnoseprimitive horn pregnancy and its rupture in a woman who has had a vaginal birth in the past. Regular ultrasound scansmay miss it; in most cases, the rupture leads to its discovery. A strong index of suspicion is necessary. We reporteda case of G3P2 with a ruptured rudimentary horn pregnancy at 16 weeks of gestation. The ultrasound incorrectlyidentified the pregnancy as an intrauterine one with fetal demise, and an attempt at termination was made. The patientwas subsequently referred to our hospital when hemoperitoneum and shock were observed, along with a diagnosis ofa ruptured uterus. Upon laparotomy, a rupture of the right rudimentary horn and significant hemoperitoneum werediscovered. An early laparotomy, horn removal, and blood transfusion saved the patient.Study design : A CASE REPORT
