Successful delivery of twins in a woman with a unicornuate uterus.
The presence of a unicornuate uterus is a rare congenital condition which represents only 1-2% of uterovaginal anomalies. Previous reports have demonstrated an increase in the number of cases of primary infertility, pregnancy loss and preterm labor associated with the unicornuate uterus. Herein, we present a case in which a patient conceived following a thawed frozen embryo transfer. She had been given the option of selective reduction, because of the high risk associated with this pregnancy, but refused and her pregnancy successfully continued to 35 weeks and delivery of twins.
