A 19-year-old nulligravida presented with severe dysmenorrhea and primary infertility. Hysterosalpingogram revealed a left uterine horn that had a solitary patent tube. Magnetic resonance imaging showed a left unicornuate uterus continuous with the cervix and the vagina, and a rudimentary right uterine horn. This confirmed the diagnosis of non-communicating cavitated right rudimentary horn. At laparoscopy the patient had stage III endometriosis, and non-communicating right rudimentary horn, which was attached to the unicornuate uterus by a long fibrous band. The rudimentary horn was freed from the pelvic side wall, excised and removed laparoscopically with no complication.\nArticle Type\nCase Report\nFirst Page\n206\nLast Page\n208\nRecommended Citation\nSaleh, Ahmed M.; Sultan, Safiah F.; Al-Jawad, Hussain M.; Al-Ghazali, Sahar D.; and Al-Shalahi, Nashmia J.\n(2003)\n\"Laparoscopic management of non-communicating rudimentary horn in a dysmenorrheic and infertile patient,\"\nSaudi Medical Journal: Vol. 24:\nIss.\n2, Article 17.\nDOI: https://doi.org/10.15537/1658-3175.1971","source_license":"CC0","license_restricted":false}
