title: Mullerian duct anomaly in a Nigerian woman with recurrent pregnancy loss.
abstract: A case of late first trimester/early second trimester recurrent pregnancy loss in a 30-year-old para 3+0 Nigerian woman is reported. She was referred to the Radiologist for Hysterosalpingography (HSG) work-up following repeated spontaneous abortions at early pregnancy stage. There was no history of trauma, surgery, alcohol/drug abuse or haematological disorder such as sickle cell anaemia or Thalassemia. Her body weight was 105 kg. Systemic examination was normal. The HSG however demonstrated widely separated horns of the single endometrial cavity with intercornual angle measuring 107 degrees indicating a congenital abnormality of bicornuate type.
