Congenital Uterine Anomaly: An Incidental Diagnosis-Report of Two Interesting Cases
نویسنده
چکیده
The uterus is formed during embryogenesis by the fusion of the two paramesonephric ducts (also called mullerian ducts). This process usually fuses the two mullerian ducts into a single uterine body. Incomplete fusion of the mullerian ducts results in uterine malformation like uterus didelphus, uterus bicornis bicollis, uterus bicornis unicollis, uterus subseptate, uterus arcuate, and uterus unicornis. Uterus didelphus is less common than other uterine malformations and has been estimated to occur in 1/3000 women. It represents a uterine malformation where the uterus is present as paired organ due to embryonic non-fusion of the mullerian ducts. Each uterus has a single horn linked to the ipsilateral fallopian tube which faces its ovary [1].

Uterine Arteriovenous Malformations (AVMs) are rare but life threatening causes of abnormal vaginal bleeding.
