Bicornuate uterus (BU) is a rare uterine anomaly result from incomplete fusion of the two Mullerian ducts during embryogenesis. CASE: 25 year Female Primi-gravida with 11 months gestation was on regular follow up in our hospital. Ultrasound scan was performed at the 7th week of pregnancy and showed a BU with single intrauterine gestational sac in the left horn. One day suddenly collapsed at home and she was declared brought dead in casualty. Autopsy was performed. Bicornuate uterus very rarely can lead to rupture of the uterus with high mortality and morbidity rates. Bicornuate uterus may be an independent risk factor for uterine rupture, which can occur in primigravida patients and at any gestation. Clinical signs of uterine rupture in early pregnancy are nonspecific and must be distinguished from acute abdominal emergencies.
