A 30-year-old woman complained of increasing dysmenorrhea and progressive right lower-quadrant pain after cesarean section. A pelvic mass was observed and subsequently a congenital müllerian anomaly was diagnosed upon serial examination. We report the first apparent case of hematometra of the rudimentary horn of a unicornuate uterus resulting from cesarean section.

Co-occurrence of Unicornuate Uterus with Noncommunicating Functioning Rudimentary Horn and VACTERL Association-A Case Report.

Introduction: The co-occurrence of a unicornuate uterus with a noncommunicating, functioning rudimentary horn and VACTERL association represents an extremely rare condition, with only 3 similar cases reported in the literature.
Case: The patient, aged 12 years and 9 months, presented with pelvic pain and severe dysmenorrhea, which started shortly after her menarche at 12 years and 4 months. At birth, she exhibited 3 characteristic components of VACTERL association: bronchoesophageal fistula/esophageal atresia, anal atresia, and polydactyly.

Introduction: While vaginal agenesis most often occurs with an absent or rudimentary, nonfunctioning uterus, it may also occur with a fully developed uterine body. In these scenarios, anastomosis of the functional uterus to a neovagina allows for both egress of menstrual blood as well as potential preservation of fertility: case reports exist of spontaneous conception following creation of a neovagina. However, prior attempts at anastomosis have all included delayed surgery with anastomosis to the uterus several months following the creation of the neovagina.

Introduction: This study aimed to characterize unicornuate uterus with noncommunicating horns, an uncommon Müllerian abnormality. With a 0.06 % incidence rate, this disorder can lead to endometriosis linked to retrograde menstruation or hematometra, which can cause significant pelvic pain.

Congenital uterine anomalies (CUAs) or Müllerian duct anomalies are rare and can be either complete failure or partial failure in the development of the Mullerian duct, and they have a probability to result in a condition known as the unicornuate uterus. Partial development of one of the horns results in a rudimentary horn, which may be communicating consisting of category II A or noncommunicating consisting of category II B. This report illustrates a rare case of a 23-year-old female, unmarried, nulligravida, who presented to the outpatient department with chief complaints of acute abdominal pain and dysmenorrhea associated with an average menstrual flow.

Background: In unicornuate uterus cases, when the rudimentary horn is very close to the uterus and is firmly attached, laparoscopic surgery can be very challenging due to the danger of massive bleeding and the possiblity of damaging the healthy hemiuterus. The aim of study is to verify if the laparoscopic resection of the horn site of hematometra, when solidly attached to the unicornuate uterus, is safe and effective.
Materials And Methods: This is a retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data in a tertiary referral centre.
