Abstract

Congenital anatomic disorders of the female reproductive tract may result from genetic mutation, developmental arrest and abnormal hormonal exposure during embryonic development. These anomalies have a huge impact on the woman’s menstrual, sexual and reproductive functions. Pregnancy with these anatomic disorders is quite challenging. Here we present a rare interesting case of spontaneous pregnancy with multiple anatomic disorders namely- imperforate hymen, high transverse vaginal septum and bicornuate uterus.
