A Rare Case Report of Rudimentary Horn Ectopic Pregnancy in a Hemi Uterus and its Laparoscopic Management
Abstract: Introduction: Ectopic pregnancy in rudimentary horn of hemi uterus is a extremely rare condition associated with a higher chance of uterine rupture. It is one of the causes for maternal mortality and morbidity. Laparoscopic excision of the ectopic rudimentary horn pregnancy with ipsilateral salpingectomy is the standard treatment at present. Case report: Mrs. A. 28 years old G2P1L1 with GA : 11weeks +5days reported with complaints of 3 months of amenorrhea and abdominal pain on and off for the past one week. Urine pregnancy test was positive. Serum beta HCG was 133499 mIU/ml. USG revealed right adnexal mass of size 6x4.8 cm with inner cyst of size 4x4cm with increased marginal vascularity and empty endometrial cavity. With the provisional diagnosis of right unruptured ectopic pregnancy, we decided to proceed with diagnostic laparoscopy which revealed a unicornuate uterus with unruptured right rudimentary horn ectopic pregnancy. Conclusion: Rudimentary horn ectopic is rare and life- threatening condition. Due to advances in endogynaecological surgeries laparoscopic management is most commonly preferred.
