Problems of rudimentary horn pregnancy

Gynecol Obstet Invest. 1986;22(1):52-5. doi: 10.1159/000298890.

Abstract

Five cases of rudimentary horn pregnancy are discussed. Two presented as acute ruptured ectopic pregnancy, whereas in 3 the pregnancy was advanced and intact with intrauterine death of the fetuses. The diagnostic difficulties are discussed and in centres where ultrasound facilities are not available, a high index of suspicion in nonresponders to oxytocin induction is emphasized.
