Rupture of Non-communicating Rudimentary Horn of Unicornuate Uterus with Pregnancy

Abstract

AbstractUnicornuate uterus with a non-communicating horn is a rare anomaly and even rarer pregnancy in its non-communicating horn. The incidence of pregnancy in the non-communicating horn is 1 in 76,000 to 1 in 150,000. Due to non-compliant uterine musculature in the non-communicating horn, it is prone to rupture in cases of pregnancy. The rupture occurs usually in the second trimester. We describe a case which presented with the rupture of non-communicating horn with live fetus inside it. The present case had a 22 week fetus floating in the peritoneal cavity following the rupture of non-communicating horn with normal other uterine horn.
