“Antipodal asymmetry” – The undiagnosed twin in the opposite uteri: A case report of dicavitary twin pregnancy in uterine didelphys / Philippine Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology

ABSTRACT

@#Muüllerian duct anomalies (MDAs) are congenital defects arising from probable teratogenic assault at 6–22 weeks of gestation.Uterine didelphys arises from complete lack of fusion of Muüllerian ducts, resulting in two entirely separate hemiuteri, cervices and vaginas.The incidence of MDA is <5% and the frequency of uterine didelphys is 1 in 1000–30,000 women and twin pregnancy in uterus didelphys is only 1 in a million. This is a case of a gravida 1 para 0, with uterine didelphys and unilateral renal agenesis diagnosed of single live intrauterine pregnancy in the left half of uterine didelphys who had a spontaneous passage of meaty material from the right hemiuterus which were histopathologically consistent with degenerating products of conception, hence confirming a dicavitary twin pregnancy. Management should be wholistic encompassing preconception, prenatal, intrapartum, and postpartum period as any complications may arise at any point.
