Abstract

Unicornuate uterus has a low incidence,it is a congenital uterine developmental anomaly, it has many complications during pregnancy, and it is less common in pregnancy to term. This article retrospectively analyzes a case of unicornuate uterus with a full-term vaginal trial of labor and delivery with placental abruption resulting in neonatal asphyxia. We also present the typology of unicornuate uterus, diagnosis, and discuss the mode of delivery in the light of the literature, in order to raise awareness of this type of disease among medical professionals and reduce the occurrence of adverse pregnancy outcomes.
