I would do IVP if future surgery even c-section is planed, they often have kidneys where you least expect them and often have two ureters on one side. Unlikely she has an outflow tract obstruction this late in the diagnosis. I would do nothing and warn her she is at risk for prem-labour,repeat breach or transverse lie; if she should have two late first or early second trimester losses I would consider resection if she has a more classical large septum Vs. actual duplication.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
