ABSTRACT
Congenital malformations of the female genital tract arise from embryological maldevelopment of Müllerian ducts. The prevalence varies: 6.7% in the general population, 7.3% in infertile women, and 16.7% in those with recurrent miscarriages. These anomalies increase risks of infertility, miscarriages, and obstetric complications like preterm birth and placental abnormalities. The unicornuate uterus, affecting 0.1% of women, results from arrested development of a Müllerian duct, often with a rudimentary horn. We report a case of a 25-year-old primigravida with a unicornuate uterus and non-communicating rudimentary horn discovered during emergency cesarean for breech presentation at 38 weeks gestation. Despite the fetus being small for gestational age (SGA), delivery was uncomplicated.
