Diagnosis and laparoscopic management of a rudimentary horn pregnancy: Role of three-dimensional ultrasound.
Rudimentary horn pregnancy occurs in 1 in 76,000-150,000 pregnancies and causes uterine rupture in about 80% of cases. The use of three-dimensional transvaginal ultrasound seems to be useful for its early detection. We present a case of an 8-week pregnancy in a rudimentary horn, managed by laparoscopic excision. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Clin Ultrasound 45:112-115, 2017.
