The pseudo-unicornous uterus also called uterus bicornous unicervical with unequal horns is a rare uterine malformation with a frequency estimated between 2.4 and 13% of uterine malformations. It is often asymptomatic but the form with functional rudimentary horn, which does not communicate with the uterine cavity, is quite symptomatic and cause primary dysmenorrhea.
