Congenital abnormalities of genital tract--uterine malformation.

Thirteen cases of congenital malformations of uterus were discovered during past ten years at Abbasi Shaheed Hospital, KMC, Karachi. They varied from uterus dideiphys to uterus unicornis. Similar malformations presented different clinical pictures in different individuals. However, most of the congenital malformations encountered did not interfere with fertility and eight cases had conceived within a year of marriage though three ended in abortions. Intravenous pyelograms were also found to be normal in eight out of the nine cases, on whom this investigation was carried out. In conclusion it is pertinent to state that early diagnosis is important to state that immediate operative treatment is very effective in alleviating symptoms and preventing complications (JPMA 36: 261, 1986).
