Core Tip

Core Tip: Robert's uterus was found earlier in cases reported in the literature, compared with our case. The blind rudimentary uterine cavity usually communicates with the ipsilateral fallopian tube, permitting partial reflux of retained menstrual blood into the peritoneal cavity. Therefore, the patient’s clinical symptoms were mild. Progressively aggravated dysmenorrhoea occurred due to menstruation retention after sterilisation on the same side of the fallopian tube.
