Mullerian Duct Defect: Uterus Didelphys
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.
Keywords: Mullerian duct defect; Congenital anomaly;
Uterus Didelphys.
