  • Title: [Twin gestation in a single horn of a bicornuate uterus].
    Author: Maagaard M, Langhoff-Roos J.
    Journal: Ugeskr Laeger; 2009 Mar 09; 171(11):907. PubMed ID: 19278618.
    Abstract:
    Bicornuate uterus is associated with early foetal loss and extremely preterm delivery. A patient with dichorionic twins in a single horn of a bicornuate uterus was admitted in week 24 + 6 with preterm labour. Long-term treatment with a combination of tocolytics, atosiban and diclofenac inhibited labour until week 26 + 3 where both babies were born. Both babies are still alive. Longterm tocolytic treatment may be successful in specific cases, but there is no evidence for a general use of long-term tocolysis in preterm labour.
