Laparoscopic Excision of a Rudimentary Uterine Horn with an Intra-Uterine Pregnancy at 96/7 Weeks' Gestation

Abstract

Pregnancy in a rudimentary uterine horn is a rare and potentially lethal condition. In 2005, a 20-year-old lady was diagnosed to have an absent right kidney, a bicornuate uterus with a right rudimentary uterine horn and a single cervix, a transverse vaginal septum with hematocolpos. The transverse vaginal septum was excised. Oral contraceptives were prescribed as treatment for the endometriosis and dysmenorrhea. In 2009, Imaging confirmed resolution of hematocolpos and revealed a right cervix connected to the rudimentary right uterine horn and covered by a partial longitudinal vaginal septum.
