A Rare Case of Non Communicating Rudimentary horn with Unicornuate uterus.

2016 
Mullerian duct malformations delineate a miscellaneous group of congenital anomalies that result from the arrested development ,abnormal formation, or incomplete fusion of the mesonephric ducts. Unicornuate uterus with rudimentary horn is a rare mullerian duct anomaly of female genital tract. The frequency of this pathology is 1/100 000. It is responsible for many obstetrics and gynecological complications during reproductive life of women. These uterine anomalies are either diagnosed incidentally or the patient may present with obstetrical or gynecological problems.  These patients present with dysmenorrhea,dyspareunia, and rarely chronic pelvic pain because of endometriosis and rarely with acute abdominal symptoms following distention and torsion of the non communicating rudimentary horn. We present a case of pelvic endometriosis due to non communicating but functional rudimentary horn of a uterus in a multiparous woman .
