An unusual anatomic variation of a unicornuate uterus with normal external uterine morphology.

OBJECTIVE

To describe a case of a unicornuate uterus with a normal external uterine morphology.

DESIGN

Case report.

SETTING

University-based fertility center.

PATIENT(S): A 30-year-old nulligravid woman with a 1-year history of infertility found to have a right proximal tubal occlusion on hysterosalpingogram.

INTERVENTION(S): Laparoscopy, hysteroscopy, and magnetic resonance imaging.

MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): External and internal morphology of the uterus.

RESULT(S): Laparoscopy showed a normal external uterine morphology and normal fallopian tubes and ovaries, but chromopertubation failed to demonstrate a fill and spill from the right fallopian tube. Hysteroscopy showed a single tubular uterine cavity projecting to the left with a single left tubal ostium, consistent with a unicornuate uterus. Magnetic resonance imaging confirmed a normal external uterine fundal contour and an internal uterine morphology consistent with a unicornuate uterus.

CONCLUSION(S): This is the first reported case of a unicornuate uterus presenting with a normal external uterine morphology and an internal morphology consistent with a unicornuate uterus, and we propose inclusion of this anomaly in the classification of mullerian anomalies.
