Peripartum cardiomyopathy in an elderly woman: A case report.

Cardiomyopathy accounts for 11.5% cause of pregnancy-related deaths. The causes of peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM) are unknown, including predisposing factors such as abnormal response to the greater hemodynamic burden of pregnancy, viral myocarditis, malnutrition, inflammation, and apoptosis.

Rare case of live birth in a ruptured rudimentary horn pregnancy.

Pregnancy in the rudimentary horn is a very rare condition. In these cases, rupture of the rudimentary horn in the second trimester with fetal death and catastrophic intraperitoneal hemorrhage is the commonly reported outcome. Silent rupture of the rudimentary horn and continuation of pregnancy as a secondary abdominal pregnancy is the most unusual outcome of this rare condition.
