Approximately 1 in every 76,000 pregnancies develops within a unicornuate uterus with a rudimentary horn. Müllerian uterus anomalies are often asymptomatic, thus, the diagnosis is a challenge, and it is usually made during the gestation or due to its complications, such as uterine rupture, pregnancy-induced hypertension, antepartum, postpartum bleeding and intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR)...

Women using hormonal therapy for breast cancer are often encountered in clinical practice of breast surgeons, oncologists and gynecologists. Some of them during the course of therapy develop abnormal uterine bleeding or have ultrasound abnormalities detected. In Poland, most of them are still diagnosed using blind curettage, which does not bring a definitive diagnosis or requires repeating the ...

Spontaneous uterine rupture (SUR), a public health problem in developing countries, is a rare but hazardous obstetric complication with significant maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality. Cases of rupture are more likely to occur in a scarred uterus, usually after a previous caesarean delivery. Spontaneous unscarred uterus rupture (SUUR) in primigravid women is usually unexpected and extrem...

BACKGROUND Small intrauterine lesions such as septum, adhesion, polyp, and submucous myoma may be of greater significance in causing implantation failure, poor reproductive performance and abnormal uterine bleeding. We studied effectiveness of therapeutic intervention through operative hysteroscopy in improvement of pregnancy outcome and cessation of abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) in women wit...

Women of advanced maternal age are considered to be at a substantially increased risk of spontaneous abortion. The increased spontaneous abortion rate in older women rnight be associated with a defective vascular response to placentation, which rnight lead to fetal ischaemia and fetal dead. Doppler velocirnetry of the uterine artery allows non-invasive assessment of uteroplacental hemodynamics....

background: assessment of uterine abnormalities is a core part in infertility evaluation. objective: the aim of this study was to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of three-dimensional hysterosonography (3-dhs) in the diagnosis of uterine abnormalities in infertile women. materials and methods: the infertile women who visited royan institute and referred to 3-dhs consecutively, prior to ...

Uterine malformations are the most frequent anomalies of the Müllerian ducts, but undescended ovaries and fallopian tubes are very rare congenital defects. Pregnancy in these misplaced organs may occur, frequently posing a diagnostic challenge. A case of a ruptured ectopic pregnancy in an undescended fallopian tube associated with other genital malformations is presented. This case provides evi...

A 34 year old woman presented with primary infertility and duplication of the cervix and vagina. Laparoscopy demonstrated a normal uterus and hysterosalpingography revealed a normal uterine cavity communicating with both cervices. This rare Mullerian anomaly is inconsistent with our current understanding of Mullerian development. An alternative embryological mechanism is reviewed to account for...
