Case report.
Setting:
Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Atatürk University, Erzurum, Turkey.
Patient(S):
A woman with complaint of primary infertility presenting TVS.
Intervention(S):
After comprehensive examination, primary infertility associated with müllerian duct anomaly was surgically treated.
Main Outcome Measure(S):
Primary infertility and anatomic anomaly.
Result:

Anatomic congenital defects may contribute to primary infertility. Suspicious evaluation of all primary infertile couples is needed, because a rare asymptomatic anatomic congenital defect could lie behind the infertility.
