BackgroundSeptate uterus is the commonest form of uterine anomaly and has the highest reproductive failure rate.Case reportA 35-year-old female, G2P1 with one living male child admitted in our department. She had a previous history of elective caesarean section due to breech presentation. She had an emergency caesarean section due to premature rupture of membranes at 39weeks gestation with drained liquor on ultrasound. The delivery of a normal live female baby occurred. There was intraoperative finding of septate uterus with dimple at the fundus.ConclusionCongenital uterine anomalies especially septate uterus, though rare, should be suspected in women with positive history of miscarriage, preterm delivery and malpresentation
