Summary: | This case report describes a rare presentation of a bicornuate bicollis uterus with a longitudinal vaginal septum in a 25-year-old woman presenting with a ruptured ectopic pregnancy. The patient's obstetric history revealed a previous cesarean section due to oligohydramnios. The diagnosis was confirmed through intraoperative assessment and MRI findings. Despite successful management of the ectopic pregnancy, the case underscores the importance of early detection and tailored management of Mullerian anomalies to optimize pregnancy outcomes. This report highlights the need for continued research to improve diagnostic accuracy and therapeutic approaches for such complex anatomical variations. |
