A uterine malformation is the result of an abnormal development of the Mullerian duct(s) during embryogenesis. The range of impact reaches from amenorrhea, infertility, pain, to normal functioning pending on the character of the defect. Uterine malformations affect about 1% of the female population. The American Fertility Society (now American Society of Reproductive Medicine) Classification distinguishes:
An additional variation is the arcuate uterus. A rudimentary uterus is an uterine remnant not connected to cervix and vagina and may be found on the other side of an unicornuate uterus. Besides a physical examination, the physician will need imaging techniques to determine the character of the lesion: gynecologic ultrasonography, pelvic MRI, or hysterosalpingography. In addition, laparoscopy and/or hysteroscopy may be indicated. In some patients the vaginal development may be affected. Studies may have to address if other organs systems are affected (kidneys, spinal bone column). Surgical intervention depends on the extent of the individual problem. http://www.wegrokit.com/uterineanomalies/gallery.htm Image gallery category: gynecology category: anatomical pathology This article is licensed under the GNU Free Documentation License.
