title: An unusual cause of lower back pain: uterus didelphys and unilateral cervical atresia.
abstract: Backache among adolescents and young women is an unusual presenting feature to the Accident and Emergency Department as well as orthopaedic clinics. Here, we present a challenging case of a mullerian duct abnormality, which collectively has an incidence of 0.0001% of the population, and how its consideration and investigation will ensure optimum management in both acute and long-term.
