Abstract
Uterine anoamalies are very rare. They can present with complains of amebnorrhoea, dysmenorrhoea, bad obstetrical outcome and infertility etc. Unicornuate uterus with rudimentary horn is very rare. The incidence of this is 1/100,000. Normally rudimentary horns are non- functional and non-communicating. But if they have functional endometrium they can develop hematometra. We are presenting a case of hematometra and pain in a patient with rudimentary non communicating horn with functional endometrium. Rudimentary horn should be kept as a differential diagnosis in pelvic pain.
