Abstract
VALDES YONG, Magel and HERNANDEZ NUNEZ, Jónathan. Ultrasound Diagnosis of Pregnancy in Double Uterus. Rev Cubana Obstet Ginecol [online]. 2015, vol.41, n.2, pp. 180-189. ISSN 1561-3062.
Double uterus is a congenital malformation resulting from abnormal development of Mullerian ducts during embryogenesis. It is asymptomatic in most patients, although it may be associated with fertility disorders and reproductive obstetric complications such as abortion and abortion threat, preterm delivery, fetal stage position anomalies, and others. It is presented here the case of a patient who comes to gynecological emergency referring pain in lower abdomen for 6 hours and genital bleeding with lack of menstruation for 9-10 weeks. Clinical examination raises suspicion of abortion threatening with uterine fibroids; but, when performing gynecological abdominal ultrasound, the presence of two uteri is observed, one of these with normal pregnancy of 11 weeks.
