Laparoscopic removal of a symptomatic rudimentary uterine horn in a perimenarchal adolescent.
An adolescent patient with a symptomatic, noncommunicating, rudimentary uterine horn is described. Diagnosis was suggested by ultrasonography and treatment was by laparoscopic resection. A review of other pediatric cases as well as the adult literature gives evidence that laparoscopic resection is worth considering in such cases.
