Abstract

Uterine malformations are present in 1-4% of women. There are various forms, varying from minor malformations like uterus arcuatus to major ones like uterus didelphys. Although some of these malformations can be asymptomatic, obstetric complications are numerous. These include spontaneous abortion, preterm labor, fetal malpresentation, premature rupture of membranes, stationary labor, uterine rupture, or even praevia obstacle. We hereby report on a case of cesarean section indicated for praevia barrier due to the non gravid horn of a uterus bicornis unicollis.
