Introduction: Uterine Müllerian anomalies are relatively common among the population, affecting approximately 4% of women, and can lead to various pregnancy-related pathologies. Cervical cerclage, a surgical procedure involving the placement of a stitch around the cervix, has been recognized as an optional treatment to mitigate the risk factors associated with these anomalies.
Case Report: A 33-year-old woman with a bicorporeal uterus and a history of early recurrent pregnancy loss, who was diagnosed with a cervical os shortening during her second anatomy screening at 22+3 weeks gestation. A cervical cerclage was performed to prevent preterm delivery, and subsequently. An elective cesarean section was conducted at 37+0 weeks of gestation, resulting in the birth of a healthy baby boy.
Conclusion: Although the literature about the effectiveness of cervical cerclage in pregnant women with Müllerian anomalies is limited, this case highlights its potential as an effective treatment option.
