Pregnancies within rudimentary horns of unicornuate uteri are extremely rare. These pregnancies account for approximately 1 in 76 000 to 1 in 140 000 worldwide, with uterine rupture being the most concerning complication. A case is presented of a 24-year-old female, gravida 2, para 0, who underwent multiple sonograms pertaining to two gestations over a 3-year period. Both pregnancies occurred within the left rudimentary horn of a unicornuate uterus. The left rudimentary horn was confirmed, on magnetic resonance imaging, to have no communication with the right horn or endocervical canal. The first pregnancy resulted in a missed abortion, and the second pregnancy, 3 years later, was a twin gestation, which was carefully monitored. At 20 weeks, the uterus began to rupture, and an emergency C-section was attempted. Neither the fetus nor the rudimentary horn survived, which was excised. This case demonstrates a rare uterine finding, a pregnancy occurred twice within the horn that lacked communication with the cervix.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has become established as an important imaging modality for the clinical management of disease. This is primarily due to the great tissue contrast inherent in magnetic resonance images of normal and diseased organs. Due to the wide availability of high field magnets and the ability to generate large and rapidly switched magnetic field gradients there is growing interest in applying high resolution MRI to obtain microscopic information. This symposium on MRI microscopy highlights new developments that are leading to increased resolution. The application of high resolution MRI to significant problems in developmental biology and cancer biology will illustrate the potential of these techniques.In combination with a growing interest in obtaining high resolution MRI there is also a growing interest in obtaining functional information from MRI. The great success of MRI in clinical applications is due to the inherent contrast obtained from different tissues leading to anatomical information.
