BICORNUATE UTERUS & PERINATAL OUTCOME

BACKGROUND: To highlight the incidental finding of congenital anomaly of Uterus and its Perinatal outcome. The uterus and its appendages are a common site for congenital abnormalities although overall they are considered rare. One of the easily recognised and described mullerian duct anomalies is the bicornuate uterus, associated with infertility. It is associated with adverse obstetric outcome. We present a case of live term pregnancy in one horn of a bicornuate uterus with 3 years history of infertility. The antenatal period was uneventful. She delivered a live 2.8 kg. female baby after an emergency caesarean section. The post-partum period was uneventful and the patient was discharged home on the 8th post-operative day. AIM: We have decided to report this case because this case was managed successfully inspite of the uterine anomaly without putting circlage which by itself carries the risk of preterm labour, infection and anaesthetic complication.
