Abstract

Pregnancy in non-communicating rudimentary horn of unicornuate uterus is an uncommon form of ectopic pregnancy usually resulting in rupture during second trimester with grave consequences for the mother and fetus. We report a case of ruptured non-communicating rudimentary horn at 28 weeks of gestation in woman with previous Caesarean section in unicornuate uterus. She presented to emergency with pain abdomen since four days. Laparotomy was done and the rudimentary horn excised. Post-operative recovery was uneventful. High index of suspicion of uterine anomaly and its early diagnosis in cases of second trimester rupture is required to save this catastrophic event.
