Background: Congenital uterine anomalies result from failure of or incomplete development, fusion or canalisation of one or both Mullerian ducts during foetal life. [1] These anomalies are often asymptomatic and unrecognized, until menarche or starting of reproductive life. The spectrum of uterine anomalies ranges from an arcuate uterus, uterine didelphys , unicornuate , bicornuate, t-shaped and septate uterus.[3] Pregnancy occurs in many women despite these anomalies. The complication rates with pregnancy are considerably increased; complications include intrauterine fetal growth restriction, fetal malposition, preterm labor, preterm premature rupture of membrane and malpresentation (breech) [21]. Not surprisingly, the rate of caesarean delivery is markedly higher. [4] Thus we want to conduct a systematic review to evaluate the association between the different subtypes of uterine anomaly and various clinical presentations and reproductive outcomes. This study was carried out retrospectively in 52 patients Method: that were in the age group of 12-38 years and having congenital uterine anomalies and presenting with either primary or secondary infertility / amenorrhoea, bad obstetrical history, recurrent abortions, preterm deliveries and ectopic pregnancies using consecutive sampling. All patients were evaluated and investigated further including reproductive & perinatal outcome. Data were analyzed regarding type of uterine anomalies and their reproductive performance. Results & Conclusion: Results of study shows that patients with uterine anomalies have higher rates of reproductive loss, preterm deliveries, that increase obstetric intervention and perinatal mortality.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
