Didelphys uterus, or double uterus, is an embryological developmental malformation of the müllerian ducts with the incidence of approximately 8.3% of all müllerian duct abnormalities (MDAs). Didelphys uterus accompanying dicavitary twin gestation is encountered as a very rare entity with overall incidence of about 1 in 1,000,000. We report a rare case of didelphys uterus, diagnosed since her fi...

this study explored the effects of gnrh agonist (gnrha) immunity on expression of fshr mrna in pituitary and fshr protein in uteri, and also confirmed its efficacy on uterine development. 42 prepuberty and non cyclic ewes were assigned to 6 experimental groups (eg) during anestrus season. animals in eg-i, eg-ii and eg-iii were subcutaneously injected with 200, 300 and 400 μg alarelin antigens (...

According to the literature the prevalence of congenital uterine anomalies varies between 3.4 and 5.0% and Müllerian anomalies are found more often in subfertile patients compared to fertile controls (Raga et al., 1997; Grimbizis et al., 2001). Congenital malformations of the Müllerian system are probably caused by multifactorial polygenic and familial factors. The prevalence of a unicornuate u...

Brachytherapy is an integrating component for the treatment of locally advanced cervical cancer. While most women present anteverted or intermediary position uterus, only 20–25% have retroverted uterus. We evaluated 418 high-dose-rate brachytherapy plans of patients diagnosed with biopsy proven cervical cancer. Urinary bladder and rectal points were identified on the orthogonal digital X-ray im...

BACKGROUND Robert's uterus is a very rare müllerian duct anomaly which is characterised by septate uterus with obstruction of a one-sided cavity and formation of hematometra. Therefore, patients present with cyclical abdominal pain during menstruation along with normal menstrual flow. CASE REPORT We present magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings in a case of Robert's uterus in a young woma...

INTRODUCTION Spontaneous rupture of uterus in unscarred uterus prior to onset of labor in third trimester is extremely rare and to our knowledge, very few cases have been reported so far. CASE PRESENTATION A 26-year-old third gravida women with 32 weeks pregnancy presented with pre-labor rupture uterus with extrusion of intact amniotic sac from the rent in uterine fundus. CONCLUSION Rupture...

Polyarteritis nodosa (PAN) is characterized by multisystem necrotizing vasculitis, primarily affecting small-to-medium-sized muscular arteries, and it is typically found in middle-aged men. PAN is rarely found in the female genital tract (including the uterus), and imaging of the uterus with PAN has not previously been reported. Reported is a case of a 78-year-old patient with uterus enlargemen...

Leiomyomas are the most common mesenchymal neoplasms. Smooth muscle cells with variable amounts of fibrous stroma make up these benign tumors. The tumor occurs frequently in uterus 20–30% women reproductive age. Uterine leiomyosarcoma (uLMS/LMS) is a rare cancer originating from smooth lining walls uterus. We report case postmenopausal 65 years presented retention urine, diagnosed as LMS on his...

Retroverted uterine incarceration with sacculation of the anterior wall is reported to occur approximately in 1/3000 pregnancies. A literature search identified only 1 case report of incarceration of an anteflexed gravid uterus and 6 reported cases of recurrent incarceration and/or sacculation. We present a case of an incarceration of an anteflexed uterus in the first pregnancy, followed by a r...

Every year, 14 million cases of obstetric hemorrhage occur worldwide, causing 127,000 maternal deaths. About 75% of postpartum hemorrhage cases are due to atonic uterus, which is loss of uterine muscular tone or strength for contraction of the uterus after delivery. The prediction of atonic uterus is therefore important for the prevention of postpartum maternal death. However, prediction of occ...
