Rudimentary Horn Pregnancy: A Rare First Trimester Acute Presentation
نویسندگان
چکیده
The rudimentary horn pregnancy (RHP) (incidence of 1/10,000 to 1/40,000) usually ends up in rupture of gravid horn in second or third trimester, leading to potentially fatal hemorrhage. Modern modalities can diagnose it in a very early pre-rupture stage, thus making medical management possible (1). Acute presentation at an early gestation is a very rare phenomenon. This case reports such an early presentation in the first trimester at 8 weeks, which has not been reported so far in literature.
