ABSTRACT

Pregnancies in the bicornuate uterus are generally considered high-risk due to their association with various
adverse reproductive outcomes, including recurrent pregnancy loss, cervical insufficiency, low birthweight,
preterm birth, malpresentation, cesarean delivery, and uterine rupture. The bicornuate uterus is a relatively
common uterine malformation, accounting for approximately half of all uterine abnormalities, with an estimated
frequency of 1 to 4% in the general population. Despite its prevalence, conception and successful term pregnancies
in this condition are rare. Diagnosis during pregnancy can be challenging, especially in settings with limited access
to prenatal care and ultrasound technology. Therefore, early detection through ultrasound is crucial for appropriate
management and optimizing pregnancy outcomes in women with this malformation. We are presenting a 32-yearold
gravida I para I lady, with a bicornuate unicervical uterus and associated pelvic kidney. This case will allow us
to discuss the embryogenesis of this anatomical entity, its incidence, complications, and treatments.
