RUPTURE ECTOPIC PREGNANCY AT 14 WEEKS IN NONCOMMUNICATING RUDIMENTARY HORN OF UNICORNUATE UTERUS: A CASE REPORT

ABSTRACT

Rudimentary horn pregnancy is rare but, if occurs it gives a grave risk to the health of the pregnant woman. In most cases it presents in the form of ectopic pregnancy. Despite availability of good USG facility, it is very difficult to timely diagnose rudimentary horn pregnancy. Confirmatory diagnosis made only by laparoscopy or during laparotomy. In the rudimentary horn the constitution of the muscle wall thickness is variable so the pregnancy can be accommodated until late pregnancy. Here we present a case of 24 years female Gravida3 Para2 Live2 with 14 weeks pregnancy presented to us in shock with clinical features of ruptured ectopic pregnancy. On laparotomy we found non-communicating rudimentary horn rupture with dead fetus in peritoneal cavity
