- Abstract
A unicornuate uterus is a rare anomaly caused by one of the mullerian ducts failing to develop. It may consist of an apparently normal looking uterus on one side with a rudimentary horn on the other side (1). Although rare, pregnancy can occur, with an estimated incidence of 1: 140000 deliveries (2). O'Leary & O'Leary (2) reported that in 90% of reported cases rupture of the rudimentary horn occurred in the second trimester. Pentti et al. [3] reported a pregnancy in an uncommunicating rudimentary horn with a rupture and fetal salvage. We also administered a noncommunicating rudimentary horn pregnancy, diagnosed only at the time of elective cesarean section.
