Background .
Mullerian duct anomalies (MDAs) are congenital defects of the female genital system that arise from abnormal embryological development of the Mullerian ducts.
A didelphys uterus, also known as a “double uterus,” is one of the least common amongst MDAs.
This report discusses a case of didelphys uterus that successfully conceived, carried her pregnancy to term, and delivered vaginally without any significant complications.

Pelvic Sonogram at that time showed a diagnosis of bicornuate versus didelphys uterus.
There were no renal anomalies on subsequent abdominal CT scan.
Patient presented with the second pregnancy and had uncomplicated prenatal care and did not have signs of preterm labor; fetus showed appropriate growth and the pregnancy was carried in the left uterus.
Patient presented at 38 4/7 wks with Premature Rupture of Membrane and underwent induction of labor with Cytotec.
