Abstract

Congenital malformations of uterus are a well discussed entity. We report a case of bicornuate uterus with pregnancy in the left horn with an unusual presentation. It was diagnosed at 19 weeks of gestation at our hospital, exploratory laparotomy with excision of the left ruptured horn of the uterus was done. Haemorrhage occurring because of rupture of cornuate uterus is massive and can be life threatening. Hence it should be diagnosed early and treated promptly. Key words: Congenital Malformation, Cornuate Uterus
