title: Pregnancy coexisting with a uterine abscess in a double uterus: a case report and review of literature.
abstract: A 20 year old primigravida with a double uterus was admitted with a viable fetus in the right uterus and pus oozing from the left one. Management consisted of a regimen of intravenous antibiotics and intravaginal antibiotic tablets. Tocolysis was used to arrest imminent preterm labor. In the course of pregnancy IUGR was diagnosed. At 38 weeks of pregnancy a SGA baby boy of 2,440 g was delivered by cesarean section. The mother and the baby were discharged from the hospital in good general condition.
