Abnormal fusion of the mullerian ducts during embryological life result in a variety of congenital uterine malformations. These anomalies are estimated to occur in 0.1% to 3% of women but it may be under estimate as often it goes undetected. Most studies report that 15% to 25% of women with such congenital uterine abnormalities have problem with fertility and reproduction. They are often associated with miscarriage, premature rapture of membrane, preterm labour and mal presentation.
