Abstract: We present a case report of 31 yrs old Gravida 4 para 2+1 patient with two previous term vaginal deliveries. She presented with a rupture of undiagnosed rudimentary horn of uterus at 18 weeks. Laparotomy was performed and rudimentary horn was excised with good recovery postoperatively. The need for high index of suspicion and early diagnosis using ultrasonography is emphasised. Conclusion: Pregnancy in a rudimentary horn carries grave risk to the mother. There is need for increase awareness of this rare condition and to have a high index of suspicion at time of booking.
