Term pregnancy with a successful fetal outcome in An undiagnosed didelphys uterus: A case report.

Abstract

Didelphys uterus is a rare congenital abnormality of the Mullerian
duct with incidence
ranging from 0.5% to
5% of all the Mullerian
development anomalies.
A successful
pregnancy in a didelphys
uterus is even rarer. We present a case report of successful
pregnancy outcome in a didelphys uterus.
Mrs.LK a 22 year old
primigravida referred from a maternity home as a case of poor
progress of labour at 38 weeks gestational age.
Examination
revealed 2
vaginal orifices with the left orifice continuous with
the uterus
harboring
the fetus. She had
emergency
caesarean
section that confirms didelphys uterus.
Her
intra
-
operative and
post
-
operative period
s were uneventful
.
Proper evaluation and
management of pregnancy in a didelphys uterus will prevent
unwarranted complications
.
