Unicornuate uterus with non-communicating rudimentary horn mimicking acute abdomen in an adolescent

Journal Title: Ege Tıp Dergisi - Year 2017, Vol 56, Issue 1

Abstract

Unicornuate uterus with a rudimentary horn is the rarest anomaly of the Müllerian system, causing many gynecologic and obstetrical complications and symptoms such as abnormal bleeding, severe dysmenorrhea, and pain. We aimed to report a case of a 17-year-old adolescent presenting with acute abdomen and diagnosed with non-communicating functional rudimentary horn during emergency minilaparotomy and treated afterwards.
