description | We present a unique case of pregnancy developed in a unicornuate uterus with a non-communicating rudimentary horn, emphasizing the importance of early identification, careful management, and counseling. Our patient, a 28-year-old woman, presented with abdominal pain and premature rupture of membranes at 37 weeks of gestation. She had a history of one previous normal vaginal delivery and no significant medical or genetic factors. An emergency cesarean section was performed, and a baby boy weighing 2900 grams was delivered without complications. The uterine anomaly was identified as a unicornuate uterus with a non-communicating rudimentary horn. This case report highlights the challenges and risks associated with unicornuate pregnancies, such as fetal growth restriction and preterm labor. Timely identification, meticulous monitoring, and comprehensive counseling are crucial for optimal outcomes in such cases. Further research and larger-scale studies are needed to enhance our understanding of these rare and complex pregnancies. |
