The purpose of this review article was to analyze the literature on the prevalence, diagnosis and treatment of the congenital uterine anomalies and to discuss current dilemmas on their influence on reproductive outcome. Congenital uterine anomalies are commonly associated with repeated pregnancy failure, in particular an increased risk of first- and second-trimester miscarriages and preterm del...

Mullerian duct anomalies are an uncommon but often treatable cause of infertility. Patients with müllerian duct anomalies are known to have a higher incidence of infertility, repeated first-trimester spontaneous abortions, fetal intrauterine growth retardation, fetal malposition, preterm labor, and retained placenta. The role of imaging is to help detect, diagnose, and distinguish surgically co...

BACKGROUND The prevalence of congenital uterine anomalies in high-risk women is unclear, as several different diagnostic approaches have been applied to different groups of patients. This review aims to evaluate the prevalence of such anomalies in unselected populations and in women with infertility, including those undergoing IVF treatment, women with a history of miscarriage, women with infer...

Developmental anomalies of the mullerian ducts represent some of the most fascinating disorders that the obstetricians and gynecologists encounter. Incidence varies between0.110%.Our objective is to study the incidence and reproductive outcome in women with uterine anomalies. Reproductive performance of 74 women with uterine anomalies delivered in Modern Government and Maternity Hospital (MGMH)...

Objective Müllerian duct anomalies are congenital anomalies of the female genital tract resulting from non-development or non-fusion of the Müllerian ducts, or failed resorption of the uterine septum. The acronym for obstructed hemivagina and ipsilateral renal anomaly (OHVIRA) was created to describe patients with an obstructed hemivagina and ipsilateral renal anomaly and enables inclusion of o...

Congenital uterine malformations are known to have a higher incidence of infertility, repeated first trimester spontaneous miscarriages, fetal intrauterine growth restriction, fetal malposition, preterm labor, retained placenta and increased cesarean section rate. The actual incidence of uterine malformation is unknown, since many women do not have any symptoms. They are estimated to occur in 0...

OBJECTIVES We conducted a prospective blinded study to evaluate the costs, accuracy, risks, and benefits of 3-dimensional (3D) transvaginal sonography compared to hysterosalpingography. METHODS A total of 101 women aged 26 to 44 years with evidence of uterine anomalies were enrolled. All participants had routine hysterosalpingography as part of their infertility evaluation as well as 3D trans...

PURPOSE Because of diagnostic improvements in the evaluation of uterine anomalies, more patients desirous of pregnancy come to clinicians with identified uterine anomalies. It is desirable for the family physician, internist, and obstetrician/gynecologist to provide accurate information during preconceptional counseling of these patients. This review attempts to provide a concise summary of the...
