Abstract
The uterus didelphys is undoubtedly one of the rarest malformations met by the gynecologist. Until recently it was thought to exist only in connection with deformity of other organs of such serious nature as to interfere with the life of the fetus; at present, however, there are on record a number of well authenticated cases in adults; in a cursory examination of the recent literature I have been able to find ten or eleven, a few of them with lateral retention of menstrual blood in vagina, uterus and tube, as in my own case.By uterus didelphys we understand two well formed and entirely separated uteri, with no partition wall, which have either no connection with each other at all, or at least a very loose one, but with only one cornu and, therefore only one tube and ovary accompanying each organ; in other words, two complete uteri unicornes.
