An unusual case of acute abdomen in mid-trimester pregnancy
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology Research - Year 2016, Vol 3, Issue 4
Abstract
The prevalence of congenital uterine anomalies among females of reproductive age group has been reported as 1:200 to 1:600. One such rare congenital uterine anomaly is rudimentary horn. The prevalence of unicornuate uterus with rudimentary horn is even rarer i.e.1:100,000. (1) These uterine anomalies present with very few problems in the absence of pregnancy provided there has been no obstruction to menstrual flow. Pregnancy in a rudimentary horn is rare and that too in noncommunicating horn is extremely difficult to diagnose before it ruptures. Such cases pose a challenge for management due to diagnostic dilemma. One such interesting case is being reported here with undiagnosed rudimentary horn pregnancy whose diagnosis was confirmed only at laparotomy due to unusual presentation.
