Abstract

Müllerian duct anomalies can occur during embryogenesis as complex developmental defects of the uterus and other female reproductive organs. This article reports a rare case of bicornuate uterus and right renal agenesis. A 39-year-old patient with a history of successful pregnancy presented to the hospital emergency department with symptoms of abdominal pain and nausea. Imaging Finding revealed a bicornuate uterus and right renal agenesis. The patient was discharged after supportive treatment with improved symptoms. This case describes congenital anomalies of a bicornuate uterus and right renal agenesis along with imaging findings and clinical correlations. Uterine anomalies can be associated with obstetric complications and infertility. Accurate diagnosis and management of uterine anomalies are of great importance. The use of advanced imaging techniques and proper education about Müllerian anomalies can help improve patient care and prevent complications.
