Accurate diagnosis of Müllerian duct anomalies (MDA) remains a clinical challenge even by direct surgical inspection. Although obstetrical complications are more frequent in women with MDA, some subtypes allow normal reproduction, further delaying the diagnosis. Unicornuate uterus with a rudimentary non-communicating functioning horn is a rare form of MDA, susceptible to many gynecologic and obstetric complications such as miscarriages, premature birth, hematosalpinx, endometriosis, and chronic pelvic pain. We present an entire case pictorial assay including preoperative imaging as well as the surgical correction of the uterine anomaly and the associated complication of an occult unicornuate right uterus with rudimentary non-communicating functioning left horn (Class U4aC0V0/ European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology/European Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy Classification) and its natural evolution following a previous incomplete surgical treatment. The patient had an emergency left adnexectomy for hematosalpinx and ovarian endometrioma at her local county hospital. After five years, the patient presented with severe dysmenorrhea and abdominal endometriosis due to blocked retrograde menstruation from a rudimentary, non-communicating functioning horn. Surgical treatment with the resection of the rudimentary uterine horn, together with the abdominal wall endometriosis lesions, was carried out with good outcomes.
即使通过直接手术检查,准确诊断苗勒管异常(MDA)仍然是一项临床挑战。尽管MDA女性的产科并发症更为常见,但某些亚型可实现正常生育,这进一步延迟了诊断。单角子宫伴残角且残角与宫腔不连通是MDA的一种罕见形式,易引发多种妇科和产科并发症,如流产、早产、输卵管积血、子宫内膜异位症和慢性盆腔疼痛。我们展示了一个完整的病例图文分析,包括术前影像学检查,以及对子宫异常的手术矫正,该病例为隐匿性右侧单角子宫伴左侧残角且残角与宫腔不连通(U4aC0V0类/欧洲人类生殖与胚胎学会/欧洲胃肠内镜学会分类),以及先前不完全手术治疗后的自然演变情况。患者在当地县医院因输卵管积血和卵巢子宫内膜异位瘤接受了急诊左侧附件切除术。五年后,由于残角与宫腔不连通导致逆行月经受阻,患者出现严重痛经和腹部子宫内膜异位症。对残角子宫进行切除,并切除腹壁子宫内膜异位症病灶,手术治疗效果良好。
