Abstract
A review of the literature has disclosed no case similar to the one reported below, which is that of a completely separated double uterus, both halves well developed, in which one uterus did not communicate with the vagina and menstruated into the abdomen. The situation was recognized at operation at the time of the patient's third menstrual period, and a hemi-hysterectomy was done. Later, the patient became pregnant and was delivered of a living child by cesarean section.Congenital anomalies of the uterus are interesting but potentially serious conditions that warrant the careful consideration of every surgeon, gynecologist and obstetrician. . . .Keywords
