title: Missed Diagnosed Bicornuate Unicollis Uterus Presenting As Acute Abdomen.
abstract: Uterus bicornuate unicollis is one of the various congenital abnormalities of the female genital tract caused by partial fusion of the mullerian ducts on both sides. A case of acute abdomen resulting from missed diagnosed bicornuate unicollis uterus in a 42-year infertile women was presented. The ultrasonographic diagnosis of twisted complex left adnexial cyst was made prior to exploratory laparotomy. However, findings at laparotomy revealed a non-communicating bicornuate unicollis uterus with damaged right tube (hyrosalpinx) and normal ovaries and left tube. A blind-ended rudimentary left sided uterine horn was excised with the ovary spared and the right sided hydrosalpinx disconnected using chromic 1. Patient was however counselled for in vitro fertilization.
