title: Laparoscopic excision of rudimentary horn pregnancy in a patient with previous caesarean section.
abstract: A rudimentary uterine horn is extremely rare and often difficult to diagnose. The frequency of this pathology is approximately 1:100,000. The diagnosis is sometimes elusive even at surgery. We present a case report of pregnancy in a rudimentary horn in the patient with one caesarean and one normal vaginal delivery, and we successfully conduct a removal of the rudimentary horn pregnancy laparoscopically.
