Tale of rudimentary horn pregnancy: case reports and literature review

Ahmed Yassin et al. J Matern Fetal Neonatal Med. 2019 Feb.

Abstract

Rudimentary horn pregnancy (RHP) is a rare form of pregnancy in a rudimentary uterine horn with a reported incidence of 1 in 76,000 and 1 in 150,000. A significant number of cases is diagnosed only following rupture of the RHP with an estimated maternal mortality rate of 0.5%. Early diagnosis can help in planning management before its rupture and allows for surgical treatment using laparoscopy.

Keywords: Rudimentary horn; ectopic pregnancy; outcome.
