“…Uterine anomalies are collectively rare and, most times asymptomatic. Still, when present, they are often responsible for causing complications like recurrent abortions [3], the index case was also asymptomatic till she had four episodes of abortion that prompted the clinical evaluation and subsequent diagnosis, thereby conforming to this literature.…”

“…A unicornuate uterus is further classified into communicating, no cavity, and no horn. The rudimentary horn in most cases is noncommunicating and often has a cavity, pregnancy in this horn is usually very rare and usually complicated by rupture of the uterus most times towards the end of the second trimester [3,4,6].…”

Unicornuate uterus is a form of uterine anomalies which arise from failure of development and fusion of the Mullerian ducts, and accounts for about 2.4-13% of all Mullerian anomalies. This is a 30-year-old housewife referred for hysterosalpingography (HSG) on account of secondary infertility. The patient also had history of recurrent abortion in the first trimester. The HSG showed an ellipsoidal or Banana shaped uterus in the left lateral pelvic cavity with prominent left fallopian tube that showed peri-fimbrial spillage of contrast medium with non-demonstration of a communicating rudimentary horn. She also had a pelvic ultrasound that showed an empty uterus with a right hypoechoic solid area most likely the right rudimentary horn. We report the radiologic features of Unicornuate uterus due to its rare nature and peculiar presentation

Uterine malformations are often asymptomatic but can be associated with a wide range of reproductive problems. We report a case of uterine fusion defect diagnosed intra-operatively in a 20-year-old primigravida who had elective caesarean section at term on account of breech presentation at term. Intraoperative findings included a cone-shaped uterus with narrowed fundus and the appendages emerging at the fundus and lower uterine segment on the right and left respectively. This is a rare fusion defect and makes a case for review of the existing uterine malformation classification systems, to make it all encompassing.
