title: Uterine anomalies. Frequency of diagnosis and associated obstetric complications.
abstract: Uterine anomalies are associated with an increase in cases of breech presentation, premature labor, abnormal presentation with dystocia, and the necessity for cesarean section. The yearly frequency of diagnosis of an anomaly has varied from 0.06 to 0.48 at this medical center depending on the physician's clinical suspicion. Thus, if the true incidence and the decrease of obstetric complications are to be accomplished, an increased interest in diagnosing uterine anomalies is essential.
