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...

Although asymptomatic cases naturally occur, congenital mullerian abnormalities can present with infertility, menstrual irregularity and recurrent pregnancy loss. Women with normal reproductive outcomes and recurrent pregnancy loss exhibit approximately 2-4% and 5-10% incidence of various congenital mullerian abnormalities. Following septate uterus, bicornuate uterus and arcuate uterus, unicorn...

BACKGROUND Septate uterus, one of the most common forms of congenital uterine malformations, negatively affects female reproductive health. METHODS In a retrospective cohort study, we evaluated the reproductive outcome after hysteroscopic septoplasty in 64 women with septate uterus and primary or secondary infertility. We performed a systematic review of studies evaluating the reproductive ou...

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...

A 33-year-old premenopausal multiparous woman with the history of septate uterus was referred to the hospital with menorrhagia and inter-menstrual bleeding occurring for the last 6 months. Work-up revealed a stage IIB cervical cancer. The patient underwent curative chemo/radiotherapy. The patient's septate uterus presented several difficulties during application. Brachytherapy was applied using...

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...

This retrospective longitudinal study was undertaken in order to determine the incidence and reproductive impact of uterine malformations on women desiring to conceive during their reproductive years. A total of 3181 patients in whom the morphology of the uterus was ascertained by hysterosalpingography (HSG) and laparoscopy/laparotomy during the years 1980-1995 was included in the study. The po...
