Pregnancy of unicornuate uterus complicated with rudimentary horn: a case report and review of the literature
Rudimentary horn pregnancy necessitates a high index of suspicion in women with uterine anomalies. Prophylactic resection of the rudimentary horn and ipsilateral fallopian tube is recommended upon diagnosis to prevent catastrophic outcomes. Multimodal imaging combining three-dimensional ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging improves preoperative detection accuracy.
