OBJECTIVES: To identify the effects of unicornuate uterus with rudimentary horn on reproductive function and analyze the diagnosis and treatment of the condition. METHODS: The study was based in the gynecological unit of a city based Medical Center in Mainland China. Twenty‐two cases of this anomaly were selected from a group of 130 cases of uterine abnormalities and were retrospectively analyzed. RESULTS: This kind of anomaly can cause hematometra and endometriosis leading to acute abdominal pain, infertility, rupture of pregnant rudimentary horn and obstetrical complications with pregnant semi‐uterus. CONCLUSIONS: Rudimentary horn should be removed if detected.
