Unicornuate uterus accounts for 2.4–13 % of all mullerian anomalies [1]. An estimated 75–90 % of unicornuate uteri with rudimentary horns are non-communicating. Pregnancy in rudimentary horn is rare, i.e., 1:76,000 and 1:1,40,000 pregnancies [2], and is associated with 70 % risk of uterine rupture occurring before 20 weeks of gestation leading to life-threatening intraperitoneal hemorrhage [3]....

Rudimentary uterine horn pregnancy is rare and, to our knowledge, has not been previously reported in Cameroon. We herein report the case of a 22 year old second gravida referred for acute abdominal pain at 17 weeks of gestation. Physical examination revealed hemoperitoneum with hypovolemic shock. After resuscitation, an emergency exploratory laparotomy was done and we found hemoperitoneum of 3...

The term "Maturity-Onset Diabetes of the Young" (MODY) was first described in 1976 and is currently referred to as monogenic diabetes. There are 14 known entities accounting for 1-2% of diabetes and they are frequently misdiagnosed as either type 1 or type 2 diabetes. MODY-5 is an entity of monogenic diabetes that is associated with genitourinary malformations and should be considered by obstet...

Müllerian anomalies are uncommon but when present they can increase the risk of obstetrical complications. Anomalies such as bicornuate and unicornuate uterus can also increase the surgical risks of pregnancy termination. The diagnostic approach and surgical management must be individualized for each patient so that the termination procedure is safe and preserves fertility. We present a case of...

vagina is a rare disease entity that is often accompanied by ipsilateral renal agenesis. It was recognized as early as 1922 (1) and is sometimes referred to as HerlynWerner-Wunderlich (HWW) syndrome (2, 3). The association of renal agenesis with ipsilateral blind hemivagina was reported as Herlyn-Werner syndrome in 1971 (4), while the association of renal aplasia, bicornuate uterus with isolate...

Term, live abdominal pregnancy secondary to rupture of a uterine rudimentary horn is a rare condition. Pregnancies conceived in the rudimentary horn of the uterus usually rupture during early gestation and present as a catastrophic event. However, rarely, after rupture of the uterine horn the foetus may continue to grow in the abdominal cavity and reach term gestation. A primigravida with a ter...

mass is complex and includes functional cysts, benign and malignant ovarian tumors, paraovarian cysts, tuboovarian abscesses, hydrosalpinx, ectopic pregnancies, tubal malignancy, broad ligament fibroid, fimbrial cysts, sigmoid colon or colon distended with gasses or feces, pelvic kidney, and pregnancy in bicornuate uterus. These masses pose both a diagnostic and management dilemma. Ultrasonogra...
