Woman from India with rare half uterus condition successfully treated

In a groundbreaking medical achievement, a 27-year-old woman in Gurugram was successfully treated for an extremely rare case of half uterus, known as adenomyosis in a non-communicating rudimentary horn. The patient sought medical attention due to pelvic pressure, constant pain, and infertility issues.

Doctors at C.K. Birla Hospital in Gurugram revealed that the woman had a left unicornuate uterus with adenomyosis in the non-communicating right horn, attached to a large fibroid-like mass. This challenging anomaly required meticulous dissection and extraction to preserve surrounding structures like the intestines and urinary bladder.

Dr. Aruna Kalra, Director of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at the hospital, stated, “With careful dissection, we successfully removed the adenomyoma, saving the ureter on the right side. The rarity of this case makes it exceptional, and the successful treatment involved a complete robotic-assisted excision of the entire horn, leading to significant improvement in the patient’s condition.”

The final histopathology confirmed the presence of adenomyosis in the rudimentary horn, adding a valuable contribution to the limited cases reported globally. The patient was discharged the next day and is expected to begin her fertility journey soon, following this rare and successful treatment.
