%X Uterine anomalies account for about 4% in the most sampled population. Here we report a case of a 35 years old woman with occasional complaint of suprapelvic ¡°heaviness¡±. She had an abnormal menstrual circle for the last 6 years. Manual palpitations were unrevealing and she appeared externally healthy. HSG was earlier performed as part of a fertility intervention (wrongly concluding on a detached form of pedunculated-myoma). Ultrasound revealed 2 separated fundal-cones, uterine cavities and a single inferior cervix. Cyesis in the bicornuate uterus is usually high-risk, making patients with uterine anomalies prone to proven misdiagnosis (e.g. appendicitis) and infertility. In addition, sonar further showed bilateral ovarian torsion. Corrective surgery was done in a hospital; post surgical healing was normal and uneventful.
