This case report describes a patient with a unicornuate uterus who experienced recurrent breech presentation during pregnancy. The authors note that malformations of the uterus are rare, occurring in approximately 0.1% of the general population due to defective fusion of the mullerian ducts. Pregnancy in this anatomical configuration carries significant maternal and fetal risks, including preterm labor and malpresentation. The text highlights that unicornuate uteri with non-communicating rudimentary horns are particularly susceptible to complications such as hematometra and ectopic pregnancy. Relevance to endometriosis: listed as one potential complication associated with unicornuate uteri, though the paper's main focus is obstetric outcomes.

Abstract

Malformations of uterus are generally rare and are due to defective fusion of the mullerian duct. One of the most common mullerian anomaly is septate uterus, and the incidence of unicornuate uterus with or without rudimentary horn is 0.1%of general population. Pregnancy in a unicornuate uterus is a rare event and has maternal and foetal risks. Unicornuate uteri with non-communicating rudimentary horns are susceptible to many gynaecologic and obstetric complications such as hematometra, endometriosis and ectopic pregnancy and thus surgical resection is usually recommended. Patient with unicornuate uterus is more likely to experience preterm labour, endometriosis and malpresentation.
