. A 26‐year‐old woman had two premature deliveries when 6 months pregnant. Neither produced a living child. A hysterosalpingogram was done, confirming a diagnosis of unicornuate uterus. When the patient became pregnant again, a third and fourth time, cervical cerclage was done in both cases. Pregnancies were terminated by cesarean section because of breech presentation and malformation of the uterus and in each case a healthy living child was delivered. In our view, in order to prevent premature deliveries, when a diagnosis of uterus malformations has been confirmed, a cerclage should be performed.
