Fetal deformation caused by uterine malformation.
Two fetuses are described in whom deformation was caused by uterine malformation (bicornuate uterus). It is necessary to distinguish between fetal malformation and deformation, since the latter type of anomaly indicates that the uterine environment is distorted. Correction of this uterine malformation can significantly improve the prospects for future pregnancies.
