    Uterine anomalies are present in up to 5% of the general population and 15% of women with recurrent miscarriage. They are associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes. The current system of classifying uterine anomalies using Latin terms provides an easy way to communicate the degree of anomaly in a single sentence. Terms like "bicornuate uterus" do not accurately convey the severity and should be replaced by more precise Latin-based terms that describe the specific duplication, such as "bicornis bicorpus unicollis" for a double uterus with a single cervix. The Latin-based classification system has stood the test of time and provides clear communication that does not require revision.
