Fusion of the two Mullerian ducts and establishment of vaginal canal are completed between 10th and 17th week of intra-uterine development. Sometimes, the Mullerian ducts don’t join completely. Several degrees of duplication of uterus are possible ranging from a complete duplication of uterus, cervix and vaginal canal. Instead, each one develops into a separate cavity. Some women with double uterus also have a duplicate or divided vagina. Uterus didelphys is rare and sometimes not diagnosed. It occurs in 0.1% - 0.5% healthy fertile population. Pregnancy in such a uterus causes various complications like spontaneous abortions, preterm labour, abnormal presentation and increased incidence of caesarean delivery. A 20 year old lady was admitted on 15th May 2012 in our hospital with full term pregnancy in labour. A live term female baby of weight 2,500gms was extracted out of the right uterus by LSCS. On left side, there was non-pregnant uterus which was lying posterior to pregnant uterus.
Key words: Lower segment cesarean, obstructed labour, Uterus didelphys, vaginal septum section
