A. Lafianza et al., COMMUNICATING BICORNUATE UTERUS WITH DOUBLE CERVIX AND SEPTATE VAGINA- AN UNCOMMON MALFORMATION DIAGNOSED WITH MR-IMAGING, European radiology, 7(2), 1997, pp. 235-237
We report a case of communicating uterus diagnosed with MRI. These ute
rine malformations are characterized by a communicating tract between
two separate uterocervical cavities, which is usually detected with hy
sterosalpingography performed for a suspected uterine malformation. In
our patient MRI was performed after the clinical finding of a double
cervix and a vaginal septum and demonstrated two separate uterine cavi
ties, each of them with its own junctional area, and an isthmian trans
verse communicating tract with endometrial tissue inside, which helped
make the diagnosis of a type-4a communicating uterus according to Toa
ff.
