Rudimentary Horn Pregnancy Misleading Abdominal Missed Abortion

Pregnancy in a rudimentary horn is a very rare condition. It is responsible for severe complications and also a life threatening condition as it mostly terminates by rupture of pregnancy. This was a case of non communicating unruptered pregnancy which was misdiagnosed on 1st and 2nd transabdominal ultrasonography, progressing to 22weeks gestation and ends in a missed abortion. A transvaginal ultrasonography revealed it as an abdominal pregnancy and on laparotomy confirmed diagnosis was non communicating rudimentary horn pregnancy. Pregnancy sac with foetus was removed intact and patient. recovered without any complications. Gravid rudimentary horn may be misdiagnosed as abdominal pregnancy and are of interest in management.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/jom.v15i1.19879 J Medicine 2014; 15: 74-76

Failure of prostaglandin induction labor in a Müllerian abnormality

Rudimentary-horn pregnancy (RHP) is a rare condition which is usually presented as a rupture of the pregnant horn during the second or third trimester, resulting in life-threatening bleeding. The authors report two cases of RHP which were diagnosed at the time of labor induction following fetal death diagnosis. Although the failure of prostaglandin induction to initiate labor could suggest that an additional obstructive Müllerian uterine anomaly is present, a directed investigation of such anomaly is more acceptable in cases of antepartum fetal death or atypical mid-trimester abdominal pain. Therefore, a high index of suspicion combined with clinical and imagiological findings are important to establish a correct diagnosis of pre-rupture RHP.
