چکیده
A bicornuate uterus is a rare mullerian duct anomaly (MDA) caused by fusion defects of the mullerian duct during embryogenesis.1 They are of clinical significance because they can result in fertility problems ranging from infertility and recurrent abortions to prematurity and malpresentation which increases the perinatal morbidity and mortality rate2. In this paper a case is presented to highlight the hysterosalpingography (HSG) and sonographic findings in a patient with bicornuate uterus with bilateral tubal blockage and submucous fibroid.
