Developmental anomalies of the genital tract result from defective fusion and absorption of various parts of Mullerian ducts in fetal life. Rudimentary horn pregnancy is a rare occurrence of one in 76,000 and one in 160,000. We present a case of a 24-year-old primigravida with ruptured rudimentary horn pregnancy initially managed in the line of an intrauterine pregnancy with severe anemia. Hemodynamic instability made us suspect ruptured rudimentary horn pregnancy and lifesaving laparotomy was performed for the same. A 1.5-liter hemoperitoneum was encountered with a right ruptured rudimentary horn. Multiple adhesions were present with necrotic tissue adherent and clumped together as tubo ovarian mass. Resection of the rudimentary horn was performed. We report this case to emphasize the need to consider rare uterine anomalies as a possibility in patients presenting with acute abdomen in early pregnancy. Obstetricians should consider these rare entities in the differential diagnosis to provide efficient management of these cases.
生殖道发育异常是由于胎儿期苗勒管各部分融合和吸收缺陷所致。残角子宫妊娠极为罕见,发生率约为1/76000至1/16000。我们报告一例24岁初孕妇,残角子宫妊娠破裂,最初按照宫内妊娠处理,患者伴有严重贫血。血流动力学不稳定使我们怀疑为残角子宫妊娠破裂,并为此进行了挽救生命的剖腹手术。术中发现右侧残角子宫破裂,腹腔积血1.5升。存在多处粘连,坏死组织粘连并聚集成输卵管卵巢肿块。遂行残角子宫切除术。我们报告此病例,以强调对于早期妊娠出现急腹症的患者,需要考虑罕见子宫异常的可能性。产科医生在鉴别诊断中应考虑这些罕见情况,以便对这些病例进行有效管理。
