Samuels and Awonuga1 examine a case of uterine rupture associated with a second-trimester pregnancy within a congenital rudimentary uterine horn after administration of misoprostol. It is important because it emphasizes 1) the increased dangers associated with pregnancies that reside within congenital rudimentary uterine horns, 2) the importance of identif...

Unicornuate uterus with a rudimentary horn represents Müllerian duct anomaly. We describe three women aged 20, 18, and 23 years unicornuate associated non-communicating horn, who underwent successful laparoscopic surgery. Studies have reported high incidence of endometriosis this Therefore, prevention progressive resection are recommended as treatment. performed removal ipsilateral fallopian tu...

The rudimentary horn pregnancy (RHP) (incidence of 1/10,000 to 1/40,000) usually ends up in rupture of gravid horn in second or third trimester, leading to potentially fatal hemorrhage. Modern modalities can diagnose it in a very early pre-rupture stage, thus making medical management possible (1). Acute presentation at an early gestation is a very rare phenomenon. This case reports such an ear...

We report the case of a patient with unicornuate uterus and an intrarudimentary horn first-trimester ectopic pregnancy. This rare pregnancy was diagnosed by laparoscopy and did not respond to systemic methotrexate treatment. The clinical presenting symptoms and signs were similar to those of an extrauterine pregnancy. Following the failure of methotrexate treatment, a second operative laparosco...

INTRODUCTION A unicornuate uterus with a rudimentary horn is the most uncommon uterine anomaly of the female genital tract. It has an estimated frequency of one in 100,000 among the fertile female population. This anomaly results from the abnormal maturation of one Müllerian duct with the normal development of the contralateral one. CASE PRESENTATION We report here the case of a 14-year-old C...
