Abstract

Abstract Mullerian anomalies are malformations that affect the embryological development of paramesonephric ducts and are associated with multiple urogenital defects due to shared embryology, including VACTERL association, which coexists in about one-third of these patients. We report a rare case of a unicornuate noncommunicating horn uterus with a rudimentary second horn in a known case of VACTERL association in a 16-year-old girl.
