ABSTRACT
Pregnancy in a non communicating rudimentary horn is extremely rare and usually terminates in rupture during first or second trimester of pregnancy . Diagnosis of rudimentary horn and its rupture in a woman with previous caesarean section is difficult . It can be missed on routine ultrasound scan and is usually diagnosed after rupture. We report a case of rupture of rudimentary horn in a patient with previous caesarean section at 20 wks of gestation. Timely laprotomy revealed rupture of left rudimentary horn with massive haemoperitoneum. Excision of horn and blood transfusion saved the patient in a young female with pregnancy is reported for its unusual presentation.
