Septate uterus is the most common structural anomaly of all mullerian defects. It is included in Class V of the AFS classification of anomalies of mullerian ducts. Fusion of the median septum of the mullerian ducts proceeds cephalad from the mullerian tubercle up to the junction of future round ligaments; shortly thereafter, the septum between the ducts is resorbed. Congenital defects can occur...

Abnormal fusion of the Müllerian ducts or failure of resorption of the septum causes varying degrees of congenital uterine malformation. They are often associated with reproductive problems such as miscarriage, premature labour, premature rupture of the membranes, or malpresentation. Twin gestation in a case of bicornuate uterus is extremely rare. A 37-year-old multiparous woman conceived a twi...

A bicornuate uterus is a rare mullerian duct anomaly (MDA) caused by fusion defects of the mullerian duct during embryogenesis.1 They are of clinical significance because they can result in fertility problems ranging from infertility and recurrent abortions to prematurity and malpresentation which increases the perinatal morbidity and mortality rate2. In this paper a case is presented to highli...

abstract a32 year-old multigravid patient with 10 weeks of pregnancy was referred to the emergency ward with massive vaginal bleeding and preshock state. suction curettage, laparotomy, uterine artery ligation, macdonald cerclage, and hysterectomy was done, in that order. after hysterectomy and massive transfusion she recovered. when a diagnosis of cesarean scar pregnancy is made in the emergenc...

INTRODUCTION In 1% of Rhesus negative women sensitisation occurs without any overt sensitising event during pregnancy. This accounts for late immunisation during a first pregnancy and is responsible for 18-27% of cases of alloimmunisation. The incidence of congenital uterine anomalies in a fertile population is 3.2% of which 5% are bicornuate uterus. Bicornuate uterus can lead to early miscarri...

background: congenital uterine malformations are the result of disturbances in mullerian duct development. in patients with recurrent miscarriage, the reported frequency of uterine anomalies varies widely, from 1.8% to 37.6%. there are reports in which cervical cerclage has been shown to prevent preterm labor in uterine anomalies. the aim of this study was to compare the role of cervical cercla...

Bicornuate and septate uteri are among the commonest Mullerian anomalies. They are sporadic and fairly distinguished, but hybrid deformities can occur. This combination creates aetiological and clinical difficulties. The alternative theory of concurrent fusion and septal resorption of the Mullerian duct is seen as the basis of the altered foetal embryology, while the favourable outlook of a bic...

Bicornuate uterus is a congenital uterine anomaly associated with reproductive complications such as recurrent pregnancy loss, preterm birth, cervical insufficiency and rupture. A bicornuate occurs owing to failure of septal resorption after fusion the paramesonephric ducts during organogenesis, resulting in divided into two horns. Most cases are only identified once difficulty experienced or a...

In the female, Müllerian ducts will develop to form the uterine tubes, uterus, cervix, and the upper one-third of the vagina; in the male, they are lost. This abnormal development can lead to uterine malformations resulting from aplasia of a part of Müllerian duct. Morphological abnormalities can vary from insufficient fission of tissues causing bicornuate uterus, double uterus or preserved ute...
