Bicervical Normal Uterus with Normal Vagina

چکیده
This is a report of the form of uterine anomaly involving a dual cervical canal in a side-by-side disposition with normal uterine cavity and normal vagina. It portrays a form of congenital uterine anomaly not explicable by the existing classical theory of mullerian anomalies. However, there has been a proposed reclassification of mullerian anomalies, which includes this type of anomaly under Type IIIc. The patient was a 31-year-old woman being managed for "secondary infertility." To report a case of uterine anomaly that is not explicable by the existing classical theory of mullerian anomalies. To the best of our knowledge, only few cases of bicervical normal uterus with normal vagina exist in the literature; one of the cases had an anterior-posterior disposition. This form of uterine abnormality is not explicable by the existing classical theory of mullerian anomalies and suggests that a complex interplay of events beyond the classical postulate gives rise to the female genital tract.

Clinical and transvaginal ultrasound examinations showed a normal uterus with a double cervix disposed in an anteroposterior ...
متن کاملDouble Cervix with Normal Uterus and Vagina - An Unclassified Müllerian Anomaly
Müllerian anomalies are very common, and a frequent cause of infertility. The most used classification system until now, proposed by the American Society for Reproductive Medicine in 1988, categorizes comprehensively uterine anomalies but fails to classify defects of the cervix or vagina. This is based on a developmental theory that postulates that müllerian duct fusion is unidirectional, begin...

A case of non-septate uterus with double cervix and complete longitudinally septate vagina is described. This previously undescribed Müllerian anomaly has been detected by complete clinical and instrumental investigations (transvaginal ultrasonography, urography, hysterosalpingography, hysteroscopy and laparoscopy). Aetiological hypotheses are discussed and we suggest adding the uterovaginal ma...
متن کاملDouble cervix and vagina with a normal uterus: an unusual Mullerian anomaly.
A 34 year old woman presented with primary infertility and duplication of the cervix and vagina. Laparoscopy demonstrated a normal uterus and hysterosalpingography revealed a normal uterine cavity communicating with both cervices. This rare Mullerian anomaly is inconsistent with our current understanding of Mullerian development. An alternative embryological mechanism is reviewed to account for...

This case was an extremely rare form of cervical dysgenesis that presented with cyclic pain. Diagnostic laparoscopy and vaginoscopy showed the presence of a blind uterus at the level of the internal cervical os with a normal vagina and exocervix. Müllerian ducts are the embryologic origin for the uterus, cervix and upper part of the vagina. Müllerian duct migration initiates from the upper part...
