Abstract

Pregnancy in a rudimentary horn is a rare entity with the most signifi cant risk of life-threatening intra-abdominal bleeding caused by rupture. With the use of vaginal ultrasonography, an early diagnosis can be made before symptoms occur. Management consists of laparoscopic resection of the rudimentary horn with the pregnancy and the ipsilateral tube. Authors present a case of a 9-week pregnancy successfully treated with laparoscopic resection.
