[Futile intra-amnion Rivanol administration and prostaglandin labor induction in uterus unicornis unicollis with a noncommunicating right-sided horn].
We report on the futile use of labour-inducing agents in a patient with a Mullerian duct abnormality. In the 20th week of gestation, foetal death had been diagnosed in the rudimentary right horn. It is suggested that induction as well as continuation of effective contractions depends on the intact uterus (cervix, lower uterine segment, and corpus).
