“…The second most common is a unicornuate uterus without a cavity, which occurs in 33% of cases, followed by the non-communicating type occurring in 22% of cases, and communicating type occurring in 10% of cases [5]. Due to the risk of hematometra, endometriosis and even ectopic pregnancy, surgical removal of a functional non-communicating rudimentary horn is indicated [6]. Pregnancies have occurred in the communicating rudimentary horn of the uterus.…”

The authors present the case of a 28-year-old nulliparous woman, who successfully carried a term pregnancy in a unicornuate uterus with a solid non-communicating rudimentary horn, and a history of myomectomy, without cerclage placement or tocolytic therapy. The patient was admitted to the present clinic for uterine fibroids and menorrhagia. The patient underwent laparotomy, during which a myomectomy was performed. Twelve months after the surgery, the patient conceived spontaneously. Routine obstetric ultrasounds revealed normal intrauterine fetal development. Cerclage and tocolytic therapy were not indicated at any stage of the pregnancy. A live female neonate was delivered via cesarean section at 39 weeks' gestation.

“…Mullerian duct malformations delineate a miscellaneous group of congenital anomalies that result from arrested development, abnormal formation, or incomplete fusion of paramesonephric ducts. [1] Unicornuate uterus with noncommunicating rudimentary horn (UUWRH) is rare form of Mullerian abnormalities which is also an important cause of dysmenorrhea. Diagnosis of asymptomatic UUWRH is a challenge due to low prevalence, lack of awareness and suspicion among clinicians and radiologists.…”

Mullerian duct malformations represent a miscellaneous group of congenital anomalies that result from the arrested development, abnormal formation or incomplete fusion of the paramesonephric ducts. Congenital Mullerian abnormalities usually present at adolescent age with menstrual irregulari¬ty, dysmenorrhea, infertility and recurrent pregnancy loss. The Unicornuate uterus is a rare uterine malformation which usually features a rudimentary accessory horn with or without functioning endometrium. We are presenting a case of perimenopausal multiparous patient who had history of secondary dysmenorrhea diagnosed with endometrioma on imaging studies, but on laparotomy incidentally found to have Unicornuate uterus with functioning noncommunicating rudimentary horn leading to hematometra and hematosalpinx. The objective of this clinical case report is to highlight this rare Mullerian malformation as a differential diagnosis of secondary dysmenorrhea, chronic pelvic pain or adnexal mass in perimenopausal age group females.
