Abstract
ABSTRACT An 18-year-old girl presented with progressively increasing dysmenorrhea. A pelvic mass was suspected which on exploratory laparotomy was found to be a rudimentary horn (hematometra, hematosalpinx). We report a case of unicornuate uterus with functioning rudimentary horn to highlight that mullerian duct anomalies should be considered in the differential diagnosis of severe dysmenorrhea even in normally menstruating girls. Unicornuate uterus with a rudimentary horn is susceptible to many gynecologic and obstetric complications. Hematometra, chronic pelvic pain, endometriosis, infertility are some of the complaints in women with unicornuate uterus. How to cite this article Choudhary R, Verma S, Meena A, Gothwal S.
