Rudimentary horn ectopic pregnancy: The need for high suspicion and accurate diagnosis

Key Points

• Timely diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy can prevent severe complications in affected individuals, particularly in noncommunicating rudimentary horns.
• Ultrasound imaging revealed the gestational sac located atypically within the rudimentary horn, necessitating further investigative measures.
• Accurate diagnosis requires a high index of suspicion, especially in atypical cases where standard signs may be absent or misleading.
• Healthcare providers should be trained to recognize this rare condition to improve clinical outcomes that may arise from ectopic pregnancies.
