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 ...
A uterine septum is a congenital uterine malformation where the uterine cavity is partitioned by a longitudinal septum; the outside of the uterus has a normal typical shape. The wedge-like partition may involve only the superior part of the cavity resulting in an incomplete septum or a subseptate uterus , or less frequently the total length of ...
Class IV—Bicornuate uterus (uterus with two horns). Only the upper part of that part of the Müllerian system that forms the uterus fails to fuse, thus the caudal part of the uterus is normal, the cranial part is bifurcated. The uterus is "heart-shaped". This condition can be complete or partial. Class V—Septated uterus (uterine septum or ...
This category reflects the organization of International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems, 10th Revision. Generally, diseases outlined within the ICD-10 codes Q51.0-Q51.9 within Chapter XVII: Congenital malformations, deformations and chromosomal abnormalities should be included in this category.
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 .
Uterus didelphys (from Ancient Greek di- 'two' and delphus 'womb'; sometimes also uterus didelphis) represents a uterine malformation where the uterus is present as a paired organ when the embryogenetic fusion of the Müllerian ducts fails to occur. As a result, there is a double uterus with two separate cervices, and possibly a double vagina ...
However, Sadie has company: In 2006, a 23-year-old British woman had triplets across two uteruses — twins who grew in one uterus, and another girl who grew in the other.
DES uterine anomalies include hypoplastic uterus (small uterus), T-shaped uterine cavity and constrictions of the endometrial cavity. [25] DES uterine anomalies vary in extent in different races, with foetuses of African American females being more prone to fibroids development during organogenesis. [ 26 ]
