Mullerian duct anomalies are congenital abnormalities involving the female genital systems. A double uterus or uterine didelphys is one of the uterine duplication anomalies that result from impaired fusion with regard to the Mullerian ducts. The uterine didelphys can be diagnosed earlier in symptomatic patients. However, the diagnosis can be delayed or the patients may remain undiagnosed throughout their lifetime if asymptomatic. Pregnant women with uterine didelphys are at a greater risk for spontaneous miscarriage, malposition, premature labor, and cervical incompetence. Uterine didelphys are also associated with renal anomalies such as renal agenesis or duplex kidneys. We present a case of a 24-year-old primigravida who had a spontaneous pregnancy and underwent a lower segment cesarean section (LSCS) after a failed external cephalic version for the breech fetal position. The uterine didelphys was diagnosed postnatally. Her condition was associated with right renal agenesis and concomitant left renal calculus.
