Introduction: The association of müllerian anomalies with concomitant gonadal development abnormalities is very rare. The literature revealed only a few cases of unicornuate uterus with unilateral ovarian agenesis. The pathophysiology of this rare combination is not clear.
Case Report: A 31-year-old primiparous woman at 38 weeks' gestation admitted to our labor room due to painful uterine contractions. An emergency cesarean section was performed and a 3,100-g healthy male infant was delivered. At cesarean delivery, she was found to have unicornuate uterus with no evidence of a rudimentary horn and the absence of a left (unilateral) ovary. The right fallopian tube, round ligament, and ovary were all normal. The left fallopian tube, round ligament, and ovary were all absent. Intraabdominal exploration, intravenous pyelography, postoperative abdominal and transvaginal ultrasonography were failed to reveal additional gynecologic, renal and urinary tract anomalies.
Conclusion: To our best knowledge this case is unique since the incidental diagnosis of unicornuate uterus with ipsilateral ovary was made during cesarean delivery.

Müllerian anomalies are congenital disorders that affect the female reproductive system, often leading to a range of obstetric complications. These anomalies include structural abnormalities such as arcuate, septate, unicornuate, and bicornuate uteri, which can impact fertility, pregnancy outcomes, and delivery methods. This case series presents five patients with different types of Müllerian anomalies, including septate, arcuate, and unicornuate uteri.

A non-communicating rudimentary uterine horn is a Müllerian abnormality that manifests due to abnormal Müllerian duct development. This abnormality is associated with endometriosis, infertility, and pregnancy complications, including ectopic pregnancy, abnormal fetal presentation, abruption, increased fetal mortality and morbidity, preterm rupture of membranes, preterm birth, intrauterine growth restriction, and uterine rupture. If pregnancy does occur, there is a high risk of complications, most notably rupture of the rudimentary horn.

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.

Maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY) is a clinically heterogeneous group of monogenic diabetes characterized by onset at a young age and an autosomal dominant mode of inheritance. Notably, MODY accounts for 2%-5% of all diabetes cases, and its distinction from types 1 (T1DM) and 2 (T2DM) diabetes mellitus is often challenging. We report herein the cases of two girls and a boy who presented initially with diabetic ketoacidosis.

Rudimentary uterine horn pregnancy is rare, with a reported incidence of 1 in 76,000 to 1 in 150,000. This report aims to advance knowledge regarding this rare condition, importance of MRI imaging in characterizing congenital uterine anomalies and the feasibility of a total laparoscopic management approach. A 26 year old female presented with new onset abdominal pain at 6 weeks gestation.
