Abstract

The rudimentary noncommunicating horn with a functional endometrial cavity is rare and often challenging to diagnose because of the variety in clinical features. We present a case of a patient for whom the diagnosis of a uterine horn was missed during the prior cesarean section, which later successfully treated with robotic-assisted laparoscopic removal of a rudimentary noncommunicating horn of uterus and ipsilateral tube.
