Accessory and cavitated uterine mass is a rare developmental mullerian anomaly theorized to be related to gubernaculum dysfunction. It presents typically in young women as severe dysmenorrhea and chronic pelvic pain refractory to medical therapy. It is an accessory cavity lined by functional endometrium and surrounded by myometrium-like smooth muscle located in an otherwise normal uterus, typically located at the right anterior wall at the level of the round ligament attachment. Ultrasound, hysterosalpingography and magnetic resonance imaging are helpful tools to diagnose and distinguish this entity from a wide array of differential diagnoses. Surgical excision and histopathologic studies confirm the diagnosis and effectively relieves severe dysmenorrhea and chronic pelvic pain. This is a case of a 39 year old nulligravid who presented with severe dysmenorrhea initially diagnosed as rudimentary horn versus myoma. Excision revealed a cavitated mass containing chocolate-colored fluid within located at the right postero-fundal area. Histopathology revealed a diagnosis of accessory and cavitated uterine mass.

This is a case of a 22 year old nulligravid who presented with severe dysmenorrhea, and diagnosed with unicornuate uterus and an obstructed noncommunicating rudimentary horn, by pre-operative ultrasound. In this paper, the presentation, diagnosis and principles of surgical management of unicornuate uterus associated with a non-communicating rudimentary horn is presented. The embryological development of this anomaly and its association with renal agenesis are discussed.

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to identify effects of Artemisia A. Smoke(Ssukjahun) on primary dysmenorrhea. METHOD: This study was a pretestposttest design with a nonequivalent control group. Data were collected from May 1, 2007 to May 27, 2008. A total of 40 women with dysmenorrhea participated in the study. Among them, 20 women were assigned to an experimental group and the other 20 to a control group. Artemisia A. Smoke(Ssukjahun) was provided daily for 4 days, starting 7 days prior to next expected menses in the experimental group. The instruments used in this study included MDQ (Moos' Menstrual Distress Questionnaire) by Kim (1995), Visual Analogue Scale by Keele (1948), and PGF2alpha by urine. RESULT: The results of this study are as follows; The experimental group was lower than the control group in the degree of menstrual distress (t=5.25, p=0.000), intensity of dysmenorrhea (t=7.71, p=0.000), and prostaglandin F2alpha levels (t=4.56, p=0.000). CONCLUSION: Artemisia A. Smoke (Ssukjahun) was proved as an effective nursing intervention to reduce dysmenorrhea in young women. Its convenience and accessibility may make it a useful intervention in nursing practice and education.

BACKGROUND: This study is to investigate on how much the dysmenorrhea and lower abdominal pain(LAP)/back pain are improved by the aromatherapy which is emerging as an alternative therapy. METHODS: In order to get the data by questionnaire, 245 subject was selected from women student class of a high school at rural area from June 2000 to August 2000. 125 subject was selected who are above the 5 grade of LAP/back pain. Among the 129 subject, aroma was given to 69 subject and placebo was given to 56 subject. The subject was investigated how the dysmenorrhea was improved by using the aroma and placebo. RESULTS: After the aromatherapy, severities of dysmenorrhea and LAP/back pain imporved in aroma group and placebo group. Therefore, there is not statistical difference between both groups. CONCLUSION: The herbal aroma is not effective more than placebo aroma to relieve dysmenorrhea.

9.Laparoscopic excision of uterine horn in case of unicornuate uterus firmly attached with non-communicating rudimentary horn.
Korean Journal of Gynecologic Endoscopy and Minimally Invasive Surgery 2012;24(1):51-57
Unicornuate uterus is a very rare uterine anomaly caused by developmetal failure of Mullerian duct. This anomay is associated with various degrees of rudimentary horn, which is connected with fibrous band or firmly attached to unicornuate uterus. Different method of operation may be applied according to type of anatomical connection. The unicornuate uterus is commonly associated with severe dysmenorrhea, chronic pelvic pain, and pelvic mass. A case of noncommunicating rudimentary horn firmly attached to unicornuate uterus with severe dysmenorrhea was treated with laparoscopic excison of uterine horn and is presented with brief review of literature.

Ovarian remnant syndrome is a rare condition which develops when functional ovarian tissue is left in situ after intended bilateral oophorectomy. It produces clinically significant syndrome, namely chronic pelvic pain and dysmenorrhea. Although the true incidence of this syndrome is unknown, an apprant increase in incidence has been reported. We have experienced a case of ovarian remnant syndrome showing chronic pelvic pain and palpable abdominal mass after difficult gynecologic operation. So, we report this case with a brief review of literatures.
