Abstract
Background: Congenital uterine anomalies result from failure of or incomplete development, fusion or canalisation of
one or both Mullerian ducts during foetal life. [1] These anomalies are often asymptomatic and unrecognized, until
menarche or starting of reproductive life. The spectrum of uterine anomalies ranges from an arcuate uterus, uterine
didelphys , unicornuate , bicornuate, t-shaped and septate uterus.[3] Pregnancy occurs in many women despite these
anomalies. The complication rates with pregnancy are considerably increased; complications include intrauterine fetal
growth restriction, fetal malposition, preterm labor, preterm premature rupture of membrane and malpresentation
(breech) [21]. Not surprisingly, the rate of caesarean delivery is markedly higher. [4] Thus we want to conduct a
systematic review to evaluate the association between the different subtypes of uterine anomaly and various clinical
presentations and reproductive outcomes. This study was carried out retrospectively in 52 patients Method: that were in
the age group of 12-38 years and having congenital uterine anomalies and presenting with either primary or secondary
infertility / amenorrhoea, bad obstetrical history, recurrent abortions, preterm deliveries and ectopic pregnancies
using consecutive sampling. All patients were evaluated and investigated further including reproductive & perinatal
outcome. Data were analyzed regarding type of uterine anomalies and their reproductive performance. Results &
Conclusion: Results of study shows that patients with uterine anomalies have higher rates of reproductive loss, preterm
deliveries, that increase obstetric intervention and perinatal mortality.
