title: Pregnancy in asymmetric blind hemicavity of Robert's uterus--a previously unreported phenomenon.
abstract: An 18-year-old primigravida presented following recurrent failed attempts at pregnancy termination for intra-uterine fetal death. Clinical examination aroused suspicion of non-communicating uterine horn with bicornuate uterus. Examination under anaesthesia and laparotomy revealed a partial vaginal septum, complete septate uterus with septum deviated to one side and fetus lying in the non-communicating right blind hemicavity (Robert's uterus). Hysterotomy and ipsilateral tubal ligation were performed.
