Partial hornual alive baby at 32nd weeks of gestation: a case report

摘要

The incidence of Mullerian duct abnormalities is approximately % 3.2 among the fertile women. One of the rarest abnormalities of Mullerian channel is rudimentary horn. It is separated into two types communicating and non-communicating according to the connection with uterine cavity. Women with non-communicating uterine horn's symptoms and signs are seen mostly at perimenarchial years. The rupture risk of a non-communicating horn, which occurs mostly prior to the third trimester, is approximately % 70. It is extremely uncommon for such a pregnancy to result in the delivery of a viable infant. Usually the rupture of the uterine wall occurs in the second trimester, presenting as acute abdominal pain with intraperitoneal hemorrhage.
