Laparoscopic management of a unicornuate uterus with two cavitated, non-communicating rudimentary horns: case report.

C R Nezhat1, K S Smith.   

Abstract

An 18 year old nulligravid woman presented with severe dysmenorrhoea secondary to stage IV (revised American Fertility Society) endometriosis, right haematosalpinx, right endometrioma, unicornuate uterus and two cavitated, non-communicating rudimentary uterine horns. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of a unicornuate uterus accompanied by two rudimentary horns. Operative video-laparoscopy proved a successful approach for treating this previously unreported variant of congenital Müllerian anomaly. A review of the world literature confirms the uniqueness of this case while demonstrating laparoscopy to be a viable alternative to laparotomy for management of congenital Müllerian anomalies. The case presented may help to elucidate Müllerian duct embryology further.
