Rudimentary horn could be a rare congenital uterine anomalies result from incomplete fusion of the two Müllerian ducts throughout embryo-genesis. Pregnancy in an exceedingly rudimentary horn is rare and typically terminates in rupture throughout the late of first or second trimester of pregnancy. We tend to present a rare case of a gravida within the trimester (31 weeks) presented with complain of abdominal pain, nausea, and vomit for 3 days. On presentation, the patient was pale and irritable. Ultrasound scan showed fetus at (30 weeks) with cardiac activity. Cardiotocography reactive. Incision showed horned uterus with pregnancy in rudimentary left horn that was ruptured. Alive fetus was delivered. The rudimentary left horn was excised. The patient was advised to not get pregnant for 3 years. Within one year, the patient came to hospital in active labor at (37 weeks). This case emphasizes the importance of fine antepartum care to avoid morbidity and mortality.

A defect in the fusion of Müllerian ducts results in the uterine malformation of the bicornuate uterus. The bicornuate uterus is an uncommon condition, and it is associated with adverse early pregnancy and antenatal events, such as recurrent miscarriages, preterm labor, and delivery. The bicornuate uterus has two symmetric uterine cavities that are fused caudally and have some degree of communication between the two cavities, usually at the uterine isthmus.

Women with an aplastic uterus (ESHRE/ESGE classification) or Müllerian agenesis (ASRM MAC 2021) might present with functional uterine remnants. Our study aimed to report the clinical course of symptomatic uterine rudiments in adolescents and adults with Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome (MRKHS). This study involved 20 patients with MRKHS who, between 2012 and 2023, underwent surgery for symptomatic uterine horns at the mean age of 25.
