To analyze the sonographic features of rudimentary uterine horn pregnancy in first-trimester.
Methods:
The sonographic features of 14 cases with rudimentary uterine horn pregnancy in first-trimester confirmed by surgery were analyzed retrospectively.
Results:
Eleven cases had the typical sonographic signs with gestational sac on the contralateral side of uterus
absent visual continuity between the cervical canal and the lumen of the pregnant horn
and presence of myometrial tissue surrounding the gestational sac. Three cases had no typical sonographic features. One case had mixed mass without displaying of gestational sac on the contralateral side of uterus. Three cases did not show the obvious myometrial tissue surrounding the gestational structures on the contralat
eral side of uterus. One case was misdiagnosed.
Conclusion:
The typical ultrasonic features of rudimentary uterine horn pregnancy in first-trimester could be used as criteria to improve the diagnostic accuracy.
