    Area of Science:

    • Reproductive Medicine
    • Gynecology
    • Urology

    Background:

    • Uterine malformations are congenital anomalies affecting female reproductive organs.
    • Uterus duplex, characterized by a double uterus, can present with various associated anomalies.
    • Communication between the reproductive and urinary tracts is exceptionally rare.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present a unique case of uterus duplex with associated anomalies.
    • To highlight an unusual pathway for menstruation in a patient with an absent vagina.
    • To discuss the diagnostic and management considerations for complex Mullerian duct anomalies.

    Main Methods:

    • Case report detailing clinical presentation, diagnostic imaging (e.g., MRI), and surgical findings.
    • Review of relevant literature on uterus duplex and associated urogenital anomalies.

    Main Results:

    • A 24-year-old woman presented with uterus duplex, underdeveloped cervices, and absent vagina.
    • Regular menstruation was observed through a fistula connecting a cervical canal to the urethra.
    • This unique anatomical configuration presented diagnostic and therapeutic challenges.

    Conclusions:

    • This case underscores the diverse spectrum of Mullerian duct anomalies.
    • The unusual cervical-urethral communication highlights the importance of comprehensive urogenital evaluation.
    • Management requires a multidisciplinary approach involving gynecologists and urologists.
