【 摘 要 】

Uterine malformations are often asymptomatic but can be associated with a wide range of reproductive problems. We report a case of uterine fusion defect diagnosed intra-operatively in a 20-year-old primigravida who had elective caesarean section at term on account of breech presentation at term. Intraoperative findings included a cone-shaped uterus with narrowed fundus and the appendages emerging at the fundus and lower uterine segment on the right and left respectively. This is a rare fusion defect and makes a case for review of the existing uterine malformation classification systems, to make it all encompassing.
