Fetomaternal outcome in pregnancies with reproductive tract anomalies
Abstract
Background: Congenital reproductive tract anomalies result from abnormal formation, fusion or
resorption of the Mullerian ducts during fetal life. Pregnancies with reproductive tract anomalies are
known to have higher incidence of spontaneous abortions, fetal malpresentations, preterm labour,
preterm premature rupture of membranes and increased cesarean section rate. The present study was
conducted to describe the fetal and maternal outcomes among pregnant women with uncorrected
reproductive tract anomalies in a tertiary care centre of North Eastern India.
Methods: A hospital based cross sectional study was conducted among pregnant women with
uncorrected reproductive tract anomalies in Regional Institute of Medical Sciences, Imphal, Manipur,
India, between September 2018 to August 2020.
Results: A total of 62 pregnant women with uterine anomalies were included in the study. Bicornuate
uterus was the most common uterine anomaly (45.2%) followed by arcuate uterus (19.3%). Cesarean
section was conducted in 72.6% of the pregnant women and its major indication was fetal
malpresentation (breech). Maternal complications were present in 56.5% of the pregnancies and fetal
complications in 27.4% of the newborns.
Conclusions: The current study has shown a significant association between uterine anomalies and
maternal and fetal complications including premature rupture of membranes, fetal malpresentation
and increased caesarean section rate. Further studies involving bigger sample size will help in
understanding the problem more and hence in the prevention of the complications in future.
