Abstract

Failure of prostaglandins E2 and F2 alpha to induce labor for intrauterine fetal death is infrequent. The factors contributing to these failures remain unclear. We describe a case of failed induction with the use of a combination of vaginal prostaglandin E2 and systemic prostaglandin F2 alpha in a 24-week intrauterine fetal death in association with a noncommunicating rudimentary uterine horn. The implications of this müllerian abnormality for theories of parturition are discussed.
