Uterus didelphys is often confused with a complete uterine septum. Often more than one method of investigation is necessary to accurately diagnose the condition. Correct diagnosis is crucial as treatment for these two conditions are very different. [ 5 ]
The condition is much less common than these other uterine malformations: arcuate uterus, septate uterus, and bicornuate uterus. While the uterus didelphys is estimated to occur in 1/3,000 women, [3] the unicornuate uterus appears to be even more infrequent with an estimated occurrence of about 1/4,000. [2]
The distinction between an arcuate uterus and a septate uterus is not standardized. A rudimentary uterus is a uterine remnant not connected to cervix and vagina and may be found on the other side of a unicornuate uterus. Patients with uterine abnormalities may have associated renal abnormalities including unilateral renal agenesis. [1]
Dr. Laura Purdy, chief medical officer at Wisp, a sexual health care group, says that “uterus didelphys is rare,” only accounting for 8% of the congenital anomalies of the female reproductive ...
The superior part of the Müllerian ducts do not fuse and form the left and right fallopian tubes. Disruptions to this stage of development can result in didelphys or bicornuate uteri anomalies. [8] In both didelphys and bicornuate uteri, the non-fusion of the Müllerian ducts results in two distinct uterine cavities.
A bicornuate uterus is an indication for increased surveillance of a pregnancy, though most women with a bicornuate uterus are able to have healthy pregnancies. [1] Women with a bicornuate uterus are at an increased risk of recurrent miscarriage, [2] [10] preterm birth, [2] [11] malpresentation, [2] [12] disruptions to fetal growth, [13] premature rupture of membranes, placenta previa and ...
The arcuate uterus is a form of a uterine anomaly or variation where the uterine cavity displays a concave contour towards the fundus.Normally the uterine cavity is straight or convex towards the fundus on anterior-posterior imaging, but in the arcuate uterus the myometrium of the fundus dips into the cavity and may form a small septation.
