“…Interestingly, no difference in prolabour gene expression was seen when comparing twin and singleton pregnancies (Lyall 2002). Equally, excessive uterine stretch, seen in polyhydramnios, multiple pregnancy or a singleton pregnancy in a unicornuate uterus are all associated with increased rates of PTL (Rodriguez 1992, Reichman et al 2009, Conde-Agudelo & Romero 2014 (Fig. 2).…”

Human labour is an inflammatory event, physiologically driven by an interaction between hormonal and mechanical factors and pathologically associated with infection, bleeding and excessive uterine stretch. The initiation and communicators of inflammation is still not completely understood; however, a key role for cytokines has been implicated. We summarise the current understanding of the nature and role of cytokines, chemokines and hormones and their involvement in signalling within the myometrium particularly during labour.

“…There are studies reporting that conservative approach may be preferred till the maintenance of viability in the selected cases that exist with a thick myometrial layer around the gestational sac. However, since these pregnancies may result in rupture both spontaneously and when induced, current studies recommend surgical excision and termination in these pregnancies as soon as they have been diagnosed (7). In the cases diagnosed early in their first trimesters, as cases presented in our study, laparoscopic surgery is accepted to be the standard surgical treatment.…”

“…Unicornuate uterus occurs in 1 in 4020 women in the general population and a rudimentary horn is present in about 84% of the cases. 1 Most of these rudimentary horns are non-communicating. Ectopic pregnancy occurring in a non-communicating rudimentary horn has an estimated incidence of 1 per 100,000 to 140,000 pregnancies.…”

Pregnancy in the rudimentary horn of the uterus is a rare form of ectopic pregnancy; most of the cases were being diagnosed at laparotomy for haemorrhagic shock due to rupture when the patient presents in the second trimester. Pre-rupture diagnosis is possible in the early pregnancy in suspicious cases. Pregnancy in the rudimentary horn has a poor maternal and foetal outcome and 90% of them present with intraperitoneal haemorrhage in the second trimester due to rupture of the horn. We report a case of ruptured rudimentary horn pregnancy at 16weeks, in shock with severe anaemia. Excision of the rudimentary horn with right salpingectomy was done.
