Abstract

The accurate population prevalence of these is difficult to assess because the best diagnostic technique is invasive  that said the prevalence is found the imaging range is( 0.4-10) percent About 3 % of women are born with a defect in the size, shape, or structure of their uterus. A bicornuate uterus is one of the most common types of uterine irregularities.  While true prevalence of Mullerian duct anomalies was not well established, ultrasound examinations revealed that approximately one per 250 women reported uterine abnormalities Complete bicornuate uterus is a type of Mullerian duct deformity, resulting from abnormal duct fusion. Similar to other Mullerian anomalies, bicornuate uterus is associated with specific complications during possible pregnancies. While various studied have reported successful deliveries in a bicornuate uterus, it might be accompanied with various complications, ranging from preterm labor such as uterine rupture. One of the current approaches to diagnosis this abnormality is ultrasound monitoring. In the present report, we presented 27-years-old multiparous women with a history of two abortions with unknown caused. The patient was not diagnosed with a complete bicornuate uterus in her two unsuccessful pregnancy. However, she was suspected with a complete bicornuate uterus based on the findings of sonography in the first stage of labor in her third pregnancy. She candid for caesarean section for breach presentation A successful cesarean section was performed on the subject in the 39th week of gestation and breach presentation. According to the results, successful delivery could be achieved in patients with bicornuate uterus. Considering factors such as recurrent miscarriage, suspicious findings, and unreliable results of ultrasound, other diagnostic evaluations, including magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) which is not easily available everywhere in our country so sonography and hysterosalpingography are recommended. for all the women with history of unknown miscarriage to diagnosed reproductive system abnormalities.
