Cornual pregnancy is a specific variety of ectopic gestation which occurs in the rudimentary horn of the uterus. It often rupture later than other tubal pregnancies because the myometrium is more distensible than the fallopian tube. Traditionally, the treatment is cornual resection (removal of rudimentary horn) or hysterectomy where the pedicle is short and the attachment is wide. Here, we report a case where cornual pregnancy was diagnosed at 17 weeks of gestation after uterine rupture and profound haemorrhage. The patient underwent laparotomy followed by cornual resection with salpingectomy. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/birdem.v4i1.18558 Birdem Med J 2014; 4(1): 50-51

Uterine anomalies are congenital malformations arising due to embryological mal-development of mullerian ducts. The European society of Human Reproduction and Embryology (ESHRE) classifies these anomalies into 6 classes. Hemi-uterus is one such class of formation defect of mullerian duct with unilateral uterine development; the contralateral part could be either incompletely formed or absent. In a rare form of ectopic pregnancy, implantation can occur in the cavity of a rudimentary horn of the hemi-uterus. Authors report a case of 22-year G2P1L1 with 12 weeks gestation who presented with acute abdomen. Ultrasound showed hemoperitoneum with suspicion of ectopic pregnancy. Laparotomy confirmed the diagnosis of ruptured right rudimentary horn with fetus and placenta in the peritoneal cavity. Immediate laparotomy and excision of the horn with transfusion of blood and blood products saved the patient in the nick of time.

Ectopic pregnancy occurs in about 1-2% in normal cycles but in IVF cycles the rate jumps to 4%. No definite cause for ectopic pregnancy was detected, but many risk factors were described as abnormal tube, pelvic infection, or surgery. In this case report we found 2 abnormalities in eight-year infertile woman; the first abnormality was bicornuate uterus and the second abnormality was the site of ectopic pregnancy which was in between the two horns of uterus. ‎This is the only case reported with primary abdominal pregnancy with bicornuate uterus and both healthy ovaries and tubes.‎ The case was unstable and managed by laparotomy and repair of ectopic site after enucleation of sac using Vicryl 2/0. The case was discharged 24 hours after operation in good health.

Pregnancy in rudimentary horn of the uterus is a rare clinical condition and often misdiagnosed as tubal, cornual, abdominal and even intrauterine pregnancy. Surgical excision of the horn is the definitive treatment for this condition. A healthy primigravida at 11 weeks gestation with underlying corrected Tetralogy of Fallot was seen with ultrasound findings suggestive of ectopic pregnancy. She underwent laparotomy and intraoperative finding was unruptured right non-communicating rudimentary horn pregnancy which was surgically excised. This case highlights the importance of having this rare diagnosis as one of the differential diagnosis for ectopic pregnancy.

Uterine rupture in first and second trimester in a non-scarred uterus is usually associated with Mullerian anomalies like rudimentary horn pregnancy. Such rudimentary horn pregnancy is difficult to diagnose antenatally but it carries grave consequences for the mother and fetus. Here is a case of undiagnosed ruptured rudimentary horn pregnancy in unicornuate uterus in Gravida 2 Para 0+1 lady at 18 week gestation who was admitted in Emergency with Shock and diagnosis was confirmed at laparotomy.
