Hematometra in an unattached rudimentary uterine horn and ipsilateral renal agenesis.

Abstract

This report describes an adolescent female with a functioning unattached rudimentary blind uterine horn who presented with dysmenorrhea, severe lower abdominal pain and a pelvic mass. She had been unsuccessfully treated with prostaglandin inhibitors, and in her past history several episodes of urinary tract infections were reported. Removal of the uterine horn afforded complete relief of symptoms.
