Unicornuate uterus

A uterus formed from only one side, with a smaller cavity.

A unicornuate uterus has a reduced cavity volume and often a single tube, with a higher chance of preterm birth and breech presentation. Pregnancy care is usually consultant-led with extra growth monitoring.

Also known as: single-horned uterus
