Recurrent transverse lie in an Arcuate Uterus: A Case Report and Literature Review


Susan Gana Okonkwo

Abstract

Arcuate uterus is a mild form of uterine anomaly that may go unnoticed during a reproductive life of a woman. While it is shrouded in  controversy in categorization and diagnosis, studies have shown that arcuate uterus is associated with Endometriosis. Arcuate uterus is  rarely associated with reproductive failure. However, malpresentation, preterm birth and miscarriages have been found to be associated  with arcuate uterus. Transverse lie is a presentation commonly associated with uterine anomalies. The uterine cavity distortion and  reduction in capacity seen in arcuate uterus may explain the increase incidence of Transverse lie as demonstrated in the case report.
