Reproductive outcome and pregnancy rates are relatively challenging in women with uterine anomalies. Pregnancies in bicornuate uterus are considered as high-risk pregnancies which requires adequate antenatal screening and early diagnosis to prevent complications. Many cases remain asymptomatic but in later age during pregnancy it leads to severe complications.
