Abstract

El útero unicorne es una rara malformación uterina que resulta del desarrollo anormal de uno de los conductos de Müller. Se manifiesta habitualmente con dismenorrea, dispareunia y dolor pélvico que aparece pocos meses después de la menarquia, aunque existen casos de presentación tardía o asintomática. Los médicos deben tener en cuenta la importancia de esta rara anomalía congénita del aparato genital femenino, especialmente poco después de la menarquia porque sin un diagnóstico y tratamiento precoz, las pacientes pueden desarrollar endometriosis, infertilidad, y complicaciones graves. Presentamos el caso de una paciente de 15 años con dolor pélvico crónico originado por un útero unicorne con un cuerno rudimentario no comunicante. Unicornuate uterus is a rare uterine anomaly resulting from the abnormal development of one of the Müllerian ducts. This abnormality usually manifests with dysmenorrhea, dyspareunia and pelvic pain appearing a few months after menarche, although there are late or even asymptomatic presentations. Clinicians should be aware of the importance of this rare congenital anomaly of the female genital tract, especially when symptoms occur shortly after menarche, because without early diagnosis and treatment, patients carrying this anomaly may develop endometriosis, infertility, and severe complications. We report the case of a 15-year-old girl with chronic pelvic pain caused by a unicornuate uterus with a noncommunicating rudimentary horn.
