Abstract

An Incidental Case of Bicornuate Uterus in a Perimenopausal Patient

Indrani K, Kalyani R and Vidya B

Congenital uterine anomalies result from the abnormal formation, fusion and resorption of Mullerian ducts during fetal life. Here we report one such anomaly, a case of bicornuate uterus in a perimenopausal patient, with an obstetric history of two full term normal vaginal deliveries. This finding came to light when she presented to the Obstetrics and Gynaecology outpatient department (OPD) with complaints of abnormal uterine bleeding. Pregnancy in one of the horns of a bicornuate uterus is associated with high incidence of uterine rupture and other obstetric complications; however our patient had an uneventful obstetric history. Therefore we report this incidental case of bicornuate uterus and also a brief discussion about Mullerian duct anomalies and their reproductive outcomes.
