This condition results when one of the paired mullerian ducts fails to fuse completely. Its incidence is estimated to be one in 76,000 pregnancies.Pregnancy in the rudimentary horn of the unicornuate uterus is difficult to diagnose on ultrasound and can be easily missed out. Hence the pregnancy usually gets detected after rupture when the mother presents with the complaint of severe abdominal pain. This is a case report of a 24 year old G2P1A0L1 female who presented to us with complaints of tenderness in the left iliac fossa and mild abdominal distention. Clinical examinations, radiological investigations, and exploratory laparotomy revealed a unicornuate uterus with an unruptured left rudimentary horn pregnancy at 14 weeks with mild hemoperitoneum. Following the exploratory laparotomy, excision of the left rudimentary horn and thorough peritoneal lavage was performed.

With the advent of fMRI, we are getting insights into the human decision making process. In fact, we have narrowed down the process of diagnosis to a set algorithm for any and every particular disease of known etiology. Now combining computer technology and medical science, we are in the process of developing advanced algorithms which can possibly replace most human doctors when concerning its efficacy and affordability.
