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.
An arcuate uterus contains a residual cranial septum that is smaller than an incomplete septum but definitions between the two conditions are not standardized, - a cause for discrepancies in the literature. A bicornuate uterus is sometimes confused with a septate uterus as in each situation the cavity is partitioned, however, in the former case ...
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 ...
Sadie was told that she might have a “heart-shaped uterus” in high school (also known as a bicornuate uterus) but says that the potential for her having two uteruses wasn’t discovered until ...
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 ...
Higgins says that while two completely separate uteruses are a rare anomaly, women who have the more common bicornuate uterus will likely have a pregnancy develop in the more developed “horn ...
Gynecologic ultrasonography or gynecologic sonography refers to the application of medical ultrasonography to the female pelvic organs (specifically the uterus, the ovaries, and the fallopian tubes) as well as the bladder, the adnexa, and the recto-uterine pouch. The procedure may lead to other medically relevant findings in the pelvis.This ...
Women with minor fusion defects such as arcuate uteri and septate uteri tend to have a lower risk of aversive pregnancy outcome, compared to patients with major fusion defects, such as unicornuate uteri, bicornuate uteri and didelphys uteri. [41]
