ABSTRACT

Uterine malformations consist of a group of miscellaneous congenital anomalies of the female genital system and are seen in around 5% of the general population. A bicornuate uterus is a uterine malformation that occurs as a result of impairment of the fusion of Mullerian ducts. Bicornuate uterus is commonly associated with recurrent abortions and preterm labour. Many of the cases are asymptomatic, but it is important to suspect and consider this diagnosis in recurrent miscarriages, preterm labour, intrauterine growth retardation and malpresentation. We are presenting a 26 years old pregnant woman with a history of abortion. In her first pregnancy, the patient had a spontaneous abortion and later diagnosed with bicornuate uterus in the second pregnancy. During the second and third pregnancy, patient had episodes of leaking and bleeding per vagina at 34th week and 32nd week of gestation respectively. However, in both pregnancies, patient delivered term live babies through normal vaginal delivery. According to the results, pregnancy in bicornuate uterus can achieve successful outcomes even with normal vaginal delivery.
