Abstract:

Unicornuate uterus with non communicating functional rudimentary horn is a rare variant of mullerian duct anomalies and associated with many obstetrical & gynecological complications throughout a women reproductive life. Teenagers presenting with severe dysmenorrhea should always be suspected for obstructive mullerian anomalies because early diagnosis can prevent serious complications like endometriosis, hematometra, pyometra and infertility. The patient of unicornuate uterus with rudimentary horn should be treated with excision of rudimentary horn to decrease the serious complications in future. We have seen five teenager girls of this rare anomalies presented with severe dysmenorrhea.
