Abstract:

This report is centered around a 20 years old patient with uterus didelphys who has successfully conceived, carried her pregnancy to term and delivered her twins by lower segment caesarean section as requested, without any significant complications. The best diagnostic modality will also be discussed and its importance in the next management step or surgical intervention.
