Mullerian duct anomalies (MDAs) are congenital defects of the female genital system that arise from the abnormal embryological development of the Mullerian ducts.1,2 These abnormalities include a wide range of developmental anomalies, resulting from failure of development, defective fusion or defects in regression of the septum during fetal development. A review of the prevalence of different t...

Uterine rupture usually occurs in a scarred uterus, especially secondary to prior cesarean section. Antepartum uterine rupture in an unscarred uterus is extremely rare. We report a case of spontaneous rupture of an unscarred gravid uterus at 32 weeks of gestation in a primigravid woman. Ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging showed a bulging cystic lesion communicating with the intraute...

BACKGROUND Congenital uterine malformations are the result of disturbances in mullerian duct development. In patients with recurrent miscarriage, the reported frequency of uterine anomalies varies widely, from 1.8% to 37.6%. There are reports in which cervical cerclage has been shown to prevent preterm labor in uterine anomalies. The aim of this study was to compare the role of cervical cerclag...

BACKGROUND Common uterine anomalies are important owing to their impact on fertility, and complex mesonephric anomalies and certain Müllerian malformations are particularly important because they cause serious clinical symptoms and affect woman's quality of life, in addition to creating fertility problems. In these cases of complex female genital tract malformations, a correct diagnosis is esse...

The usual outcome of rudimentary horn pregnancy is rupture in second trimester in 90% of cases.[1] Early diagnosis of this rare form of pregnancy prior to rupture is essential for successful management in order to prevent maternal morbidity and mortality.[2] Though uterine anomalies can be suspected on bimanual or ultrasonographic examination,[2,3] these can be diagnosed in only 14% cases befor...

In a review of 2,300 cases of arthrogryposis collected over the last 35 years, 33 cases of maternal uterine structural anomalies were identified (1.3%). These cases of arthrogryposis represent a very heterogeneous group of types of arthrogryposis. Over half of individuals affected with arthrogryposis demonstrated asymmetry and some responded to removal of constraint, 29 of the 33 cases of arthr...

BACKGROUND Müllerian duct anomalies represent a wide spectrum of congenital abnormalities ranging from simple uterine anomalies to more complex multisystem derangements. Complete duplication of uterus, cervix, and vagina may be associated with urologic and caudal gastrointestinal malformations. CASE REPORT We present a case report detailing the management of a morbidly obese patient with post...

The Bonaparte project is a multi-year bedrock mapping program initiated by the British Columbia Geological Survey during the 2000 field season. The project is focused on Mesozoic arc volcanic and plutonic rocks of the Quesnel Terrane in the northeastern part of the Bonaparte Lake (92P) map sheet (Figure 1). This area encompasses a northwest-trending belt of high mineral potential that includes ...
