Delivery of a live fetus with a communicating rudimentary horn is an extremely rare and a life-threatening condition as it mostly terminates by rupture of pregnancy. This was a case of communicating unruptured rudimentary horn pregnancy which was misdiagnosed on early obstetric sonography progressing to 32 weeks period of gestation. This report describes an unusual pregnancy whose placenta was lying in rudimentary horn and fetus was placed in gravid uterine cavity. The pregnancy was successfully delivered using cesarean section, with both neonatal and maternal survival.
