“…Moreover, the implantation and pregnancy rate in a group of infertile women with uncorrected septate uteri undergoing IVF-ET was similar to that of the general infertile population (30). Moreover, mice with functional inactivation of one VEGF allele have been generated showing no problems during the initial process of embryonic implantation (31,32).…”

“…5 Uterine malformations are often associated with breech presentation, a great risk for premature labor, abnormal presentations with fetal dystocia, and the necessity for cesarean section, 5 all of which can result in early fetal loss. In a study reported by Marcus et al, 7 the group of 9 patients with unicornuate uteri and uterus didelphys had a higher rate of term delivery (67%) and a lower abortion rate (0%) than did the group of patients with septate uterus and bicornuate uteri, in which the term delivery rate was 10% and the abortion rate was 30%. In comparison, the rate of pregnancy loss was 30% in cases of uterus didelphys reported by Heinonen.…”

We report a rare case of twin pregnancy in the same horn of a bicornuate uterus. This patient's uterine malformation was detected for the first time when she experienced abdominal pain at 6 weeks of amenorrhea. Transabdominal and transvaginal sonographic examinations were performed. Both embryos showed cardiac motion on transvaginal sonography. The patient was re-examined monthly. Her pregnancy ended in spontaneous abortion at 22 weeks. Two live male fetuses were delivered, but they both died immediately after their birth. Sonography, particularly transvaginal sonography, is valuable for early detection of uterine abnormalities that may affect the outcome of pregnancy.

“…Although congenital uterine malformations are associated with poor reproductive performance, each type may have a different impact on reproduction [4]. Unicornuate uterus and uterus didelphys seem to have a similar effect on pregnancy outcome, since uterus didelphys may be considered as a symmetrical duplication of a unicornuate uterus [4][5][6].…”

Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the achievement of pregnancy as well as the reproductive outcome after hysteroscopic septum resection in women with recurrent abortions or infertility. Design: retrospective, clinical trial. Setting: University hospitals. Patient(s): Fourty women with a diagnosis of uterine septum who had a history of pregnancy loss or infertility. They were randomized into two groups. Group I includes 18 infertile women and Group II includes 22 recurrent miscarriage women. Intervention(s): Hysteroscopic metroplasty was performed on all patients in both groups. Result(s): 40 patients who were diagnosed with a partial septate uteri had hysteroscopic septum resection and were divided into two groups: Group I (18 patients) presented with infertility and Group II (22 patients) with recurrent abortions. The mean post-operative follow up period was 24 months. Group I, 12 patients (66.6%) and Group II, 17 patients (77.2%) achieved pregnancy, with respective abortion rates of 2 (11.1%) and 4 (18.1%). Conclusion(s): Using hysteroscopy to perform metroplasty on septate uteri makes the procedure safer, easier, and less complicated. This procedure is recommended for all cases diagnosed with an uterine septum.
