Abstract

Background: The non-communicating rudimentary horn of a unicornuate uterus is the rare result of abnormal development of the Müllerian ducts during embryogenesis. Case description: We report a rare condition of a pregnancy of eight weeks of gestation in a non-communicating rudimentary horn of a unicornuate uterus, which was diagnosed without specific symptoms and treated through laparoscopy.

Conclusion: Early diagnosis and treatment are essential to prevent the high maternal risk of life-threatening bleeding complications. HIPPOKRATIA 2019, 23(2): 92-94.

Keywords: Pregnancy; non-communicating rudimentary horn; unicornuate uterus.
