  • Title: Rare case of live birth in a ruptured rudimentary horn pregnancy.
    Author: Kawthalkar AS, Gawande MS, Jain SH, Joshi SA, Ghike SD, Bhalerao AV.
    Journal: J Obstet Gynaecol Res; 2011 Aug; 37(8):1169-72. PubMed ID: 21501332.
    Abstract:
    Pregnancy in the rudimentary horn is a very rare condition. In these cases, rupture of the rudimentary horn in the second trimester with fetal death and catastrophic intraperitoneal hemorrhage is the commonly reported outcome. Silent rupture of the rudimentary horn and continuation of pregnancy as a secondary abdominal pregnancy is the most unusual outcome of this rare condition. We report such a case with a good maternal and neonatal outcome. The case is being reported for its rarity.
