An arcuate uterus occurs when the septal dimple on the cranial uterus persists: the septal dimple is a small remnant of the septum. It is an incidental finding on MRI and is associated with no obstetric complications.
A septate uterus occurs when the membranous uterine septum, which separates the two Müllerian ducts, persists.Like a bicornuate uterus, it can be partial or complete. The difference from a didelphys uterus or a bicornuate uterus is that it has a normal fundal…
A bicornuate uterus occurs when the two Müllerian ducts partially unite. It is the most common uterine anomaly and presents with recurrent preterm delivery or malpresentation. MRI helps evaluate the fundal contour to distinguish a bicornuate uterus from a septate uterus. Types of bicornuate uterus Type…
A didelphys uterus occurs when the two Müllerian ducts fail to fuse. This results in two single-horned uteri and two vaginas separated by a thin wall. There may or may not be a double cervix (since fusion occurs caudally going cranially). The most common presentation is recurrent preterm…
Unicornuate uterus occurs when one Mullerian duct fails to form, which can lead to a rudimentary horn – a communicating or non-communicating, and cavitary or non-cavitary uterus-like structure.
Mullerian hypoplasia, AKA Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser (MRKH) syndrome, occurs when both Mullerian ducts fail to form. Complete failure to form is known as Mullerian agenesis, while partial development is known as Mullerian hypoplasia. It presents as primary amenorrhoea since the proximal vagina, cervix, uterus, and fallopian tubes are absent. Mullerian…
