Congenital partial absence of a fallopian tube has rarely been reported in the literature. A 29-year-old nulligravida woman presented with a two-year history of infertility. Hysterosalpingography revealed an obstructed left fallopian tube with a normal uterine cavity and right fallopian tube. After several AIH treatments, diagnostic laparoscopy was performed, revealing segmental absence of the ...

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 uni...

Ann Saudi Med 2006;26(4):333 A 20-year-old woman, primigravida, with a last menstrual period 8 weeks ago, presented with lower abdominal pain for two days and vaginal bleeding for one day. The gynecological examination found vaginal bleeding, no enlargement in uterine size, and a painful mass 4 centimeters in diameter in the right adnexal region. The serum β-HCG level was 8200 mIU/mL.

Despite its description by Kelly1 in 1898, angular pregnancy is still a relatively unknown entity. Angular pregnancy is defined as a pregnancy implanted in one of the lateral angles of the uterine cavity. It has been classified as ectopic, nearly ectopic, or intrauterine. Unlike an interstitial pregnancy, which implants in the intramural portion of the fallopian tube, an angular pregnancy can p...

Groups of five rabbits were killed at 0, 2, 4, 7, 10, 24, 48, 98, 168 and 240 hours after mating. The glycogen content of the lower half of the Fallopian tube was greater than in the upper half at each interval. Uterine and Fallopian tube levels of glycogen decreased during the interval from mating to ovulation. Both cervical and vaginal glycogen declined significantly within 24 hours after mat...
