1Ege Maternity and Gynecology Training and Research Hospital, Izmir, Turkey.
Objective:
To present a case of unicornuate uterus with ipsilateral ectopic ovary and renal agenesis.
Design:
Case report.
Setting:
Research hospital.
Patient(S):
A 26-year-old woman with a 5-year history of primary infertility was admitted to our clinic. A unicornuate uterus without contralateral horn, with ipsilateral ectopic ovary and renal agenesis, was diagnosed.
Intervention(S):
Diagnostic laparoscopy, ovarian stimulation.
Main Outcome Measure(S):
During laparoscopy, a unicornuate uterus without a contralateral horn, together with ectopic ovary, was observed.
Result(S):
We visualized the right ectopic ovary on ultrasound after ovarian stimulation.
Conclusion(S):
We present a rare clinical entity that exhibits a unicornuate uterus without a contralateral horn, with ipsilateral right ectopic ovary and renal agenesis together. We conclude that ovarian stimulation is a useful approach in the diagnosis of ectopic ovaries.

Before puberty, the hypothalamus releases GnRH in a low frequency, low amplitude pulsatile manner. This along with the immature hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis activity, results in low estrogen levels and the absence of a fully functional ovarian cycle. At puberty, GnRH secretion increases in both frequency and...
