Müllerian duct anomalies include a wide variety of developmental abnormalities involving the female reproductive system, many of which are not adequately represented by the current classification system used in the United States. Diagnosis can be made with imaging, but initial evaluation first requires a thorough physical exam. A 19-year-old female received a pelvic MRI for evaluation of a Müllerian duct anomaly following an abnormal pelvic exam. Imaging demonstrated a single uterine cavity which divides into 2 distinct cervices and vaginas. The patient received a hysteroscopic resection of her vaginal septum. This type of anomaly is extremely rare and associated clinical outcomes of potential infertility or complications with vaginal delivery are uncertain. Use of a more comprehensive classification system for Müllerian duct anomalies may assist with identification and research of such rare subtypes.
苗勒管异常包括涉及女性生殖系统的多种发育异常,其中许多在美国目前使用的分类系统中并未得到充分体现。诊断可通过影像学检查,但初步评估首先需要进行全面的体格检查。一名19岁女性在盆腔检查异常后接受了盆腔MRI检查,以评估苗勒管异常。影像学显示一个单一的子宫腔,该子宫腔分为两个不同的宫颈和阴道。患者接受了阴道纵隔的宫腔镜切除术。这种类型的异常极为罕见,潜在不孕或阴道分娩并发症的相关临床结果尚不确定。使用更全面的苗勒管异常分类系统可能有助于识别和研究此类罕见亚型。
