Abstract

Background: Pregnancy in non communicating rudimentary horn of uterus is an extremely rare event at an estimated incidence of 1 per 100,000 to 140,000 pregnancies. Usually it is followed by rupture of uterus in first or second trimester of pregnancy.
Case: We are reporting a case of a multi parous women (with previous normal vaginal delivery), at 37 weeks gestation. She had a term pregnancy in non communicating rudimentary horn of uterus. She underwent cesarean section followed by excision of rudimentary horn and ipsilateral salpingectomy.
Summary and conclusion: Viable live birth resulting from pregnancy in a non communicating rudimentary horn of uterus is a very rare phenomenon. A high index of suspicion should be kept in mind especially in pregnant women with multiple failed attempts of Medical Termination of Pregnancy (MTP), fetal malpresentation, fetal growth restriction, abnormal placentation or failure of induction for termination of pregnancy.
