title: The unicornuate uterus: clinical implications.
abstract: The unicornuate uterus is associated with a poor reproductive outcome and many gynecological problems. We collected data from 45 women with a unicornuate uterus. We found a high abortion rate of 22% in the first trimester and 16% in the second trimester. Premature labor occurred in 18%. The prevalence of infertility and endometriosis in women with a unicornuate uterus was comparable to women without the anomaly.
