Abstract

The unicornuate uterus is caused by the non-development of one M llerian duct. The condition is associated with various degrees of rudimentary horn connected to the unicornuate uterus when one of the ducts develops only partially. Pregnancy in a rudimentary horn is rare and usually associated with fetal death and serious maternal morbidity or mortality. A case of pregnancy in the non-communicating rudimentary horn of unicornuate uterus after intrauterine insemination at 9 weeks of gestation is presented with brief review of literatures.
