The recto-vesical ligament is an abnormal peritoneal band that can be associated with uterine malformations by default fusion of Müller’s ducts. It is a very rare entity. We report a case of laparoscopic surgery conducted on a 28-year-old patient in order to explore primary subfertility. We discover that the patient had two permeable vaginas, two distinct cervices and two com-pletely separate hemiuterus with two horns between which a wide peritoneal band attached to the bladder and back to the sigmoid: the ligament rec-to-vesical.
