A case of abortion into a unilateral imperforate vagina of a uterus didelphys is reported. This abnormality is very rare and a pregnancy in the uterine horn on the imperforate side seems not to have been reported before. No communication into the “hidden” horn of the uterus except the transperitoneal route was found. Therefore, conception must have occurred by transperitoneal migration either of spermatozoa or of a fertilized egg.
