A 14-year-old girl presented with increasing cyclical pain, scanty menses, pelvic mass and absence of the left kidney. With both radiological and clinical examinations (examination under anaesthesia), diagnosis of bicornuate uterus with single cervix could be made while on laparotomy, and it turned out to be uterine didelphys, with one cervix obscured by blind hemivagina with haematometra and haematocolpos in the left horn, for which hemihysterectomy was done. Post procedure the patient was relieved of cyclical pain and is menstruating properly.
