“…Rudimentary horn and its liability for ectopic pregnancy has been described in multiple literature studies as being presumably due to intraperitoneal sperm or oocyte migration [11,12] and were associated with higher incidence of abortion or rupture of the horn, especially in the second and third trimesters [13]. Furthermore, considering the fact that hematometra, hematosalpinx, and endometriosis are consequences of retrograde menstruation [14], the rudimentary horn and its connecting fallopian tube were removed during laparoscopy for this patient.…”

Unicornuate Uterus with Rudimentary Horn as a Rare Etiology of Secondary Dysmenorrhea: A Case Report

Congenital uterine anomalies are an uncommon type of female genital malformations caused by abnormal development of müllerian ducts during embryogenesis. Patients with an obstructive uterine anomaly have a higher risk of developing gynecological and obstetric complications that may present at menarche or later in life. We present a case of severe dysmenorrhea in a young teenager caused by obstructive hematometra in a noncommunicating horn of the unicornuate uterus. A differential diagnosis of a possible anomaly was made using 2-dimensional pelvic ultrasonography, which was later confirmed using MRI that revealed an anomalous uterine cavity with a single left-sided cornua communicating with the cervix and a distended right-sided rudimentary horn. She underwent a right salpingectomy with rudimentary horn excision, which was successfully managed laparoscopically. This case emphasizes the importance of physicians being cognizant in identifying patients with uterine anomaly to provide appropriate treatment and prevent adverse reproductive outcomes.

Endometrial cavity in the rudimentary horn and small cavity of the uterus are the most important causes of these complications. Between referring to gynecologic clinics in emergency situations such as abortion, preterm labor, extra-uterus pregnancy, and in non-emergency such as infertility and endometriosis, there are many abnormalities in the reproductive system, some of which are associated with abnormalities in the urinary system; Therefore, trying to treat the uterus greatly resolves one of the problems of obstetrics and gynecology. In this study, a new method of coronoplasty surgery was introduced in the unicornuate uterus with the rudimentary horn.Patient & Methods This study is a case report that was done in 2013. A 22-year-old woman referred to sarem women's hospital for secondary infertility and undergoing diagnostic laparoscopy and the surgeon realized the unicornuate uterus with the rudimentary horn. In this patient, the rudimentary horn was not cut off and during a new surgical procedure called coronoplasty, the rudimentary horn was connected to the uterus major horn and was reconstructed as a larger uterus. Conclusion Coronoplasty is novel and effective surgery method for reconstruction of unicornuate uterus with rudimentary horn.
