Abstract
Abnormal fusion of Mullerian duct in embryonic life is the origin of variety of malformations which may alter the reproductive outcome of the patients. Septate uterus is caused by incomplete resorption of the Mullerian duct during embryogenesis. Here, we report a case of septate uterus that was initially diagnosed by ultrasound scan and confirmed by Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) technique.
Highlights
Uterine anomalies can lead to infertility and problems with reproduction among women
In present case, according to the patient history, septate uterus has influenced her fertility and there was a previous history of abortion
Despite the notable advantages of this technique, the obstetric ultrasound scan done on our patient could not detect the septate uterus as anomalies accordance with uterus exactly and it could be probably as a result of lack of experience
Summary
Uterine anomalies can lead to infertility and problems with reproduction among women. A lot of uterine malformation like septate uterus, unicornuate uterus, and bicornuate uterus result from abnormal development of paramesonephric (mullarian) duct fusion during uterus development. The prevalence of uterine anomalies in the general population is about 0.5% [1]. In 1988 American Fertility society described congenital uterine anomalies relateted to mullarian ducts according to Figure1.
