A RUPTURED NONCOMMUNICATING RUDIMENTARY HORN PREGNANCY: A CASE REPORT
View through CrossRef
Pregnancy in the rudimentary horn is rare and carries grave consequences for the mother. Here, we report a case of 26-year G3P2 with 17 weeks gestation who presented with lower abdominal pain. Ultrasound showed hemoperitoneum with suspicion of abdominal ectopic pregnancy. Intraoperatively the diagnosis of ruptured left rudimentary horn pregnancy was made. The fetus and placenta were removed followed by excision of the horn with ipsilateral salpingectomy done.
