The pseudo-unicornuate uterus which is a rare uterine malformation, that can be the site of a pregnancy. Pregnancies in the rudimentary horn usually result in a rupture due to a uterine wall not adapted to the level of the horn, but especially diagnostic difficulties. Their discovery is most often made in intraoperative, when an indication of laparotomy is made for hemoperitoneum in emergency. They are therefore responsible for high maternal-fetal mortality and morbidity. We report in this observation a case of pregnancy in a rudimentary unruptured horn, in a 28-year-old, 4th gesture 2nd parous, the discovery of which was made incidentally, during an indication of laparotomy posed for suspected abdominal pregnancy complicated by a surgical abdomen.
