Uterine Anomalies<br />

Diagnoses: Female <strong>Pelvis</strong><br />

(Left) Slightly oblique<br />

transverse transvaginal<br />

ultrasound showing<br />

separation of the<br />

endometrium as well as<br />

indentation of the external<br />

uterine contour , consistent<br />

with bicornuate uterus. An<br />

early gestational sac is present<br />

in the left horn ſt. (Right)<br />

Transvaginal ultrasound<br />

obtained coronal to a slightly<br />

deviated uterus shows a<br />

gestational sac within 1<br />

uterine horn ſt <strong>and</strong> fluid <strong>and</strong><br />

debris within the other .<br />

The fundal indentation of this<br />

bicornuate uterus is visible<br />

superiorly .<br />

(Left) Coronal transvaginal<br />

ultrasound in a complex case<br />

shows a normal endometrium<br />

ſt on the left side with thick<br />

muscle connecting to<br />

another horn, which lacked<br />

the normal endometrial line<br />

. The precise anatomy was<br />

not able to be defined<br />

sonographically. The left ovary<br />

was normal st. (Right) Right<br />

sagittal ultrasound of the<br />

right adnexa in the same<br />

patient shows a complex cystic<br />

right ovarian mass ſt,<br />

consistent with an<br />

endometrioma.<br />

(Left) T2 MR in the same<br />

patient better depicts the<br />

anatomy, showing a normal<br />

left horn ſt <strong>and</strong> an obstructed<br />

right horn with distended<br />

endometrium <strong>and</strong><br />

associated right<br />

endometrioma with T2<br />

shading . This was a<br />

unicornuate uterus with a<br />

noncommunicating cavitary<br />

right horn. (Right)<br />

Hysterosalpingogram shows<br />

only the endometrial cavities<br />

ſt; however, the degree of<br />

separation > 110° is consistent<br />

with a bicornuate uterus.<br />

There is normal free spillage<br />

of contrast bilaterally st.<br />
