    Abstract:
    Pregnancy in a rudimentary uterine horn is rare and is usually associated with fetal death and serious maternal morbidity and mortality. A case of pregnancy in a rudimentary uterine horn with rupture 14 weeks after last menstrual period and is complicated with placenta accreta is presented. The patient had signs and symptoms of massive hemoperitoneum. An emergency exploratory laparotomy revealed rupture of the gravid rudimentary horn of a bicornuate uterus. Histologic examination of the specimen showed that placenta was accreta. The relative literature is reviewed and the association of placenta accreta in such situations is pointed out.
