Abstract
Incidence of pregnancy in the non- communicating rudimentary horn is 1 in 76,000-150,000 pregnancies A non- communicating rudimentary horn pregnancy reaching term is also very rare and there are only 13 fetal survivals reported since 1960. Only 10% of these pregnancies reach term with 2% newborn survival rate .it is in this context that our case report attains significance. Our patient had a rudimentary horn pregnancy with placenta preavia that continued to 36 weeks and had a classical caesarean section with excision of rudimentary horn and a live male fetus.
