M. Candiani et al., BICERVICAL UTERUS AND SEPTATE VAGINA - REPORT OF A PREVIOUSLY UNDESCRIBED MULLERIAN ANOMALY, Human reproduction, 11(1), 1996, pp. 218-219
A case of non-septate uterus with double cervix and complete longitudi
nally septate vagina is described, This previously undescribed Mulleri
an anomaly has been detected by complete clinical and instrumental inv
estigations (transvaginal ultrasonography, urography, hysterosalpingog
raphy, hysteroscopy and laparoscopy), Aetiological hypotheses are disc
ussed and we suggest adding the uterovaginal malformation described in
this report to the embryological classification recently proposed by
Acien et al, (1991, 1992) which postulates isolated Mullerian anomalie
s as a consequence of a minor mesonephric defect.
