Abstract
-
The uterus with rudimentary horn occurs as a result of a lack of development during fetal life of the middle and lower part of one of the M llerian ducts, in which there is a failure of fusion of the two ducts. Pregnancy in the rudimentary uterine horn is very rare, its incidence is reported nearly as 1 case per 100,000 normal pregnancy. We experience a case of ruptured rudimentary uterine horn twin pregnancy at 29-gestational week and report the case with brief review of literatures.
