  https://radiopaedia.org/articles/uterus-didelphys?lang=us

  Uterus didelphys is a type of Mllerian duct anomaly (class III) where there is a complete duplication of uterine horns as well as duplication of the cervix, with no communication between them. […] Didelphys results from failure of normal Mllerian duct fusion that occurs between the 12th and 16th week of pregnancy and is characterized by two symmetric, widely divergent uterine horns and two separate cervices. The uterine volume in each duplicated segment is reduced. […] Uterus didelphys should be differentiated from a bicornuate uterus (separation of horns only) and a septate uterus (midline uterine septum). […] Hysterosalpingography demonstrates two separate endocervical canals that open into separate fusiform endometrial cavities, with no communication between the two horns. Each endometrial cavity ends in a solitary fallopian tube.

  A double uterus is a rare condition that is present at birth in some women. A double uterus often causes no symptoms. The condition may be discovered during a regular pelvic exam. Or it may be found during imaging tests to find the cause of repeated miscarriages. […] Women who have a double vagina along with a double uterus may first see a health care provider for menstrual bleeding that isn’t stopped by a tampon. This can happen when a tampon is placed in one vagina, but blood still flows from the second uterus and vagina. […] The risk factors for a double uterus are not well understood. The cause of the condition isn’t known either. Genetics likely plays a role, along with other unknown factors. […] Many women with a double uterus have active sex lives. They also may have routine pregnancies and successful deliveries. But sometimes a double uterus and other uterine factors can cause: infertility, miscarriage, premature birth, kidney problems.

• #1 Uterus didelphys – Wikipedia

  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uterus_didelphys

  Uterus didelphys represents a uterine malformation where the uterus is present as a paired organ when the embryogenetic fusion of the Mllerian ducts fails to occur. As a result, there is a double uterus with two separate cervices, and possibly a double vagina as well. […] A pelvic examination will typically reveal a double vagina and a double cervix. Investigations are usually prompted on the basis of such findings as well as when reproductive problems are encountered. Not all cases of uterus didelphys involve duplication of the cervix and vagina. […] Helpful techniques to investigate the uterine structure are transvaginal ultrasonography and sonohysterography, hysterosalpingography, MRI, and hysteroscopy. More recently 3-D ultrasonography has been advocated as an excellent non-invasive method to evaluate uterine malformations. […] 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.

  During a routine pelvic exam, your doctor may feel that you have a double cervix, or that your uterus is shaped differently than normal. If they do, they may recommend some tests to find out what might be going on. These tests might also be recommended if you have experienced recurrent miscarriages. In either scenario, the tests you may be offered are the same. […] High-frequency sound waves are used to create images of the inside of your body. The sonographer will put some cool jelly on the end of a device called a transducer and apply it to your abdomen so that they can see how your uterus looks. If they want a clearer image of the inside of the uterus, they might suggest a transvaginal ultrasound, in which the transducer is inserted into the vagina. […] This is another ultrasound, but in a sonohysterogram the images are taken after a fluid is inserted into the uterus through a thin tube that is put into the vagina. This allows the doctor to see any abnormalities in the shape of the uterus that may be present.

  Uterus didelphys is a rare condition where a person develops two uteruses. Its also called a double uterus. A double uterus is a congenital abnormality that you are born with. Your healthcare provider may diagnose a double uterus during a routine pelvic exam after feeling two cervixes or two vaginas. Theyll likely order additional imaging tests to confirm uterus didelphys. Imaging tests will be used to further examine the size and shape of your double uterus and confirm the diagnosis. Some tests your healthcare provider will recommend are: Ultrasound. Your healthcare provider will get images of your uterus with an abdominal or transvaginal ultrasound. A transvaginal ultrasound is when a wand is inserted into your vagina. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). MRI scanners produce high-quality images of your uterus using a magnetic field and radio waves. Sonohysterogram. Your provider inserts a thin catheter into each uterus and injects saline into the cavity. Then, they perform a transvaginal ultrasound to get images of the cavity as the fluid travels through your cervix and into your uterus. Hysterosalpingography. A special dye is inserted into each uterus. Then, your provider uses X-ray to get images as the dye moves through your cervix and into your uterus.

  It is recommended to consider performing the procedure during the follicular phase or after progesterone withdrawal to help with visualization during surgery. […] It is recommended to counsel patients that, on the basis of limited data, there is no evidence that resection of the unicollis cervical septum increases the risk of cervical insufficiency. […] The presence of a uterine septum has been associated with infertility, recurrent miscarriage, and poor obstetrical outcomes such as preterm birth. […] The diagnosis of a septate uterus has shifted from surgical to radiographic techniques. […] A study of 117 female participants found that the use of 3D TVUS combined with saline infusion had 100% accuracy when compared with laparoscopy/hysteroscopy.

• #1 Ultrasonography in the differential diagnosis of „double” uteri – PubMed

  https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3294047/

  A total of 43 infertile patients with hysterosalpingographic diagnosis of bifid uterus underwent sonography and subsequent laparoscopy/hysteroscopy to evaluate the capacity of ultrasound to demonstrate the peritoneal profile of the malformed uteri correctly. Sonographic visualization was adequate in 39 cases (90.7%) and the following were identified correctly: 1 of 2 didelphic uteri, all of 11 bicornuate uteri, all of 4 complete septate uteri, and all of 22 partial septate uteri. The sensitivity of ultrasound in detecting the presence of a perimetrial fundal notch was 92.3% and its specificity 100%. Thus, a precise differential diagnosis of „double” uteri was possible with this technique, which may in some clinical situations provide an alternative to laparoscopy.

• #1 Bicornuate uterus | Radiology Reference Article | Radiopaedia.org

  https://radiopaedia.org/articles/bicornuate-uterus?lang=us

  A bicornuate uterus is a type of uterine duplication anomaly. It can be classified as a class IV Mullerian duct anomaly. […] Bicornuate uteri are thought to represent ~25% (range 10-39%) of Mullerian duct anomalies. […] In most cases, a bicornuate uterus is incidentally discovered when the pelvis is imaged. The most common symptomatic presentation is with early pregnancy loss and cervical incompetence. […] A bicornuate uterus results from abnormal development of the paramesonephric ducts. There is a partial failure of fusion of the ducts, resulting in a uterus divided into two horns. […] The preferred methods of imaging uterine anomalies are ultrasound, hysterosalpingogram or MRI. […] A divided uterus can be seen on hysterosalpingogram (HSG), but it is difficult to differentiate between septate and bicornuate anomalies since the uterine fundal contour is not visible.

  This report addresses and discusses two cases of uterine didelphys in pregnancy. […] This uterine anomaly was diagnosed at 13 years of age, after pelvic imaging identified a haematocolpos and two uteri. […] The diagnosis, management and pregnancy outcomes are addressed and discussed. […] Confirming the diagnosis of uterine didelphys with obstructed left hemi-vagina and unilateral renal agenesis was particularly challenging, given imperforate hymen is typically seen in primary amenorrhoea. […] Diagnosis of uterine anomalies, while dependent on imaging and surgical findings, is often subjective. […] Although two-dimensional ultrasound is commonly utilised, it is considered the least accurate imaging investigation, likely due to difficulties visualising the external uterus. […] In the second case, transabdominal ultrasound showed both uterine horns were confluent with a single cervix indicating potential bicornuate-unicollis (single cervix). […] Irrespective of uterine anomaly, each clinical situation must be assessed and managed individually. […] Given the rate of fetal malpresentation is higher in women with uterine anomalies, it is more likely these women will require planned caesarean sections.

  At her first appointment with Dr. Vash-Margita, Emily was told she had a complex condition called OHVIRA (Obstructed Hemi-Vagina with Ipsilateral Renal Agenesis). OHVIRA is a congenital, or present at birth, condition; it occurs when a girl has a double uterus, a missing kidney, and a wall of tissue that divides the vagina. […] This division blocks menstrual blood from fully flowing out of the body, which causes the blood to collect in the uterus as seen on Emily’s imaging studies and leads to pain. […] OHVIRA is a type of Mullerian anomaly, and there are a wide variety of them, says Dr. Vash-Margita, adding that it was not surprising that Emily was not diagnosed with OHVIRA when she was found to have one kidney at age 4. […] However, if Emily had been diagnosed with OHVIRA earlier, she could have been spared the pain and psychological distress she endured once her period started.

In this case, the woman is born with 2 uteri and 2 cervices. It’s a rare congenital anomaly. […] Usually these are detected much later in life when she has pain related to menses and abnormally heavy bleeding during menses due to 2 uteri. […] There may be repeated miscarriages leading to tests like hysterolaparoscopy ultrasound or mri detecting the condition. […] It is high time that you know that it’s important to diagnose this condition in order to get timely treatment and avoid any further complications. Where looking out for symptoms is not enough, one must consult a doctor and get diagnosed for the same in order to detect the condition on time.

  An abnormal uterus may not be able to provide the same healthy levels of function required to bring a fetus to full-term, resulting in premature labour. […] Without a normal uterus, the fetus may not be able to receive important nutrients to grow well, resulting in intrauterine growth restriction or IUGR. […] Uterine didelphys is associated with renal agenesis in approximately 25% of cases, which is the absence of one of both kidneys. […] Even though uterus didelphys is rarely the only cause of infertility, fertility problems are still a genuine concern for women with a double uterus. […] For most, uterus didelphys will not impact their ability to carry a baby to term or even result in fertility issues in the first place. […] This condition should be managed with the help of a professional obstetrics and gynaecology specialist.

  Complete failure of fusion of the paired Mllerian ducts results in duplication of the uterine corpus and cervix, known as uterus didelphys. […] If this septum is obstructive on one side, this is almost invariably associated with ipsilateral renal or ureteric anomalies. […] Most uterine anomalies result from a defect in the reformation or fusion of the paired Mllerian ducts during embryogenesis. […] MRI is the most sensitive non-invasive examination for evaluation of a Mllerian duct anomaly. […] Resection of the obstructive vaginal septum with marsupialization of the margins is the established treatment of didelphic uterus with blind hemivagina since drainage alone may lead to spontaneous closure and subsequent development of hemato- or pyocolpos. […] This procedure allows evacuation of the sequestered material and preserves reproductive potential.

  The ability to conceive is not typically impaired, but pregnancy in uterus didelphys is often associated with reproductive failure. […] More than 80% of the pregnancies and childbirths in women with uterus didelphys end with a caesarean section but without immediate indication for it, research literature shows. […] The main reason for performing CS in a patient with uterine didelphys is the breech presentation or dystocia as a result of the obstruction of the pelvic entrance by the non-pregnant uterine cavity. […] On the basis of our review of the literature, we think that CS and uterus didelphys is a sufficient, but not absolute indication for CS. However, although uterus didelphys and normal deliveries have been reported even after CS, we believe that surgical delivery is a safer method for this Müllerian anomaly.

  Uterus didelphys is a rare form of congenital anomaly of the Müllerian ducts. The clinical significance of this anomaly of the female reproductive tract is associated with various reproductive issues: increased risk of preterm birth before 37 weeks’ gestation, abnormal fetal presentation, delivery by caesarean section, intrauterine fetal growth restriction, low birth weight less than 2500 g, and perinatal mortality. […] The ASRM classification defines uterus didelphys, or didelphic uterus, as a reproductive tract anomaly representing a complete duplication of the uterus and cervix. It occurs as a result of a failure of Müllerian duct fusion in 8 weeks’ gestation. […] Although the initial diagnosis of uterus didelphys is made by ultrasound or hysterosalpingography, MRI offers the most accurate diagnosis. MRI is the best option for the classification of the various anomalies because of its better anatomic assessment compared with other diagnostic modalities. Accurate diagnosis is essential to determine the most effective treatment during childbirth.

  We present a case of an 18-year-old primigravida who presented to labor and delivery at 41 weeks and 3 days, admitted for induction of labor at late term. […] During her antepartum course, the patient was suspected to have a uterine anomaly, bicornuate vs. uterine didelphys, given the findings during her first trimester ultrasound. […] Uterine didelphys is a congenital defect of the female genital system that arises from abnormal embryological development of the Mullerian ducts. A didelphys uterus, also known as a double uterus, is one of the least common Mullerian duct anomalies. […] Most women with a uterine didelphys are asymptomatic, but some present with dyspareunia or dysmenorrhea in the presence of a varying degree of longitudinal vaginal septum. […] It is generally accepted that having a uterine anomaly is associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes, such as, increased likelihood of premature labor, spontaneous abortion, cesarean delivery (due to fetal positioning), and/or decreased live births in comparison to those with a normal uterine anatomy.
