Abstract

Rudimentary horn is a rare anomaly and results from arrested development of the mullerian ducts. We report a case of twin pregnancy in a unicornuate uterus with a non-communicating rudimentary horn, in which two siblings each in separate horn were delivered successfully by caesarean section.
