Metroplasty either via an open approach or laparoscopically can be performed to definitively diagnose and treat the defect.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Case presentation:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A 26-year-old female, with no known comorbids and past surgical history of endometriotic cyst excision presented with acute symptoms of left lower abdominal pain, burning micturition, and relative constipation. After clinical and radiologic investigations, the diagnosis of bicornuate was suspected. An elective exploratory laparotomy was then performed due to limited resources and skilled surgical techniques. Intra-operatively it was found that she had a bicornuate uterus with a single cervix and vagina, with the left cornuate being non-communicating with fluid suggesting hematometra. Dense adhesions were reported with drainage of 150-200 ml of free fluid upon opening the rectus sheath. Postoperatively she remained vitally stable and was discharged home.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Clinical discussion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We report a rare case of a bicornuate uterus with double horns along with submucosal fibroids, rectus sheath hematoma, and left sided hydronephrosis. Diagnosis of bicornuate uterus is associated with diagnostic uncertainty mainly due to its rarity and nonspecific presentation.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Although bicornuate is rare, it may result in complications if not attended to timely.
