The patient is a 26-year-old woman, gravida 0, para 0. She was first seen in our Center because of a longitudinal 3-cm septum was seen on vaginal examination and uterine malformation was suggested. Transvaginal US revealed uterine anomaly in the form of uterus didelfus (double uterus, double cervix). Vaginal septum was excised. She appeared in three months after initial scan because of missed two menstrual periods.

Ultrasound examination revealed 9-weeks pregnancy with two embrios each one in another uterine cavity. The prenatal course proceeded uneventfully, both foetuses continued to grow equally and symmetrically. In 32nd week the patient was admitted to the obstetrical department and she visited home on weekends. At the 40th week of gestation a cesarian section was performed and normal healthy 3100-g male and 3000-g female infants were delivered.
The postoperative course was uneventfull and the mother and infants were discharged from the hospital on the seventh postpartum day.
