title: Value of ultrasound in the early diagnosis of prerupture uterine horn pregnancy. A case report.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  The poor outcome of rudimentary horn pregnancies is due to delayed diagnosis.

  CONCLUSIONS
  Ultrasonography is essential in the early diagnosis of pregnancy in a rudimentary horn.
