This case report wishes to highlight the usage of cervical cerclage in Mullerian abnormalities and repeated preterm labour. A 26-year-old G3P2A0 with 13\u2009weeks of pregnancy came with a history of repeated preterm birth, which ended at 23\u201324 and 28\u201329\u2009weeks consecutively. Ultrasound examination revealed that she had 14\u201315\u2009weeks of pregnancy and cervical length 2.2\u2009cm. The patient was diagnosed with cervical insufficiency, and cervical cerclage was performed. The patient then presented at 36th\u201337th weeks of pregnancy with labour pain and fetal distress, emergency cesarean section was performed. During the operation bicorporeal uterus was found. The fetus was delivered weighing 2.690\u2009g with 1-min APGAR score of 7 and 5\u2009min at 9. We performed ultrasonography and pelvic MRI 2\u2009months after delivery, which identified a U3bC0V0 as in the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology classification and a bicornuate uterus (serosal indentation &gt;1\u2009cm) as in the 2021 American Society of Reproductive Medicine classification. Patient presented with two preterm births and fulfilled classic historic features of cervical insufficiency which history-indicated cerclage is mandatory. Uterine anomalies themselves increase the risk of recurrent pregnancy loss, preterm birth, and cervical insufficiency. Only half of a pregnancy with a bicorporeal uterus lasts till term, and half of it ends up as early preterm pregnancy loss. It is important to diagnose or exclude Mullerian abnormalities in cases of repeated preterm labour or second-trimester pregnancy loss. Usage of cerclage has been useful in some cases, including this case; further research should be conducted for stabilizing the guidelines of cerclage in pregnancy with Mullerian abnormalities.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/2050313x251377288","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,9,20]],"date-time":"2025-09-20T10:38:34Z","timestamp":1758364714000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Usage of cervical cerclage in pregnancy with Mullerian anomalies and cervical insufficiency: A case report"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0001-8793-6906","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Widya","family":"Maulida","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Universitas Padjadjaran, Bandung, Indonesia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3049-5572","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alfonsus Zeus","family":"Suryawan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Universitas Padjadjaran, Bandung, Indonesia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dani","family":"Setiawan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Universitas Padjadjaran, Bandung, Indonesia"},{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Sumedang District Hospital, Indonesia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Andi","family":"Rinaldi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Universitas Padjadjaran, Bandung, Indonesia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tiffanie Almas","family":"Santoso","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Sumedang District Hospital, Indonesia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,9,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_2_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/1471-0528.17003"},{"issue":"2","key":"e_1_3_2_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"372","DOI":"10.1097\/01.AOG.0000443276.68274.cc","volume":"123","author":"ACOG Practice Bulletin No. 142: cerclage for the management of cervical insufficiency","year":"2014","unstructured":"ACOG Practice Bulletin No. 142: cerclage for the management of cervical insufficiency.
