Laparoscopic surgery demonstratedunicornuate uterus with arudimentary cavity and hematometra.Partial hysterectomy was conducted to the right rudimentaryuterus.Conclusion: Thorough diagnosis is essential to prevent thecomplications of unicornuate uterus. Unicornuate uterus withrudimentary cavity is associated with increased rate of pregnancycomplications such as preterm labor and fetal malpresentation.Pregnancy can also occurred on the rudimentary cavity and leadsto recurrent pregnancy loss. Laparoscopy is essential for confirmatorydiagnosis.
