To assess the frequency of myometrial tissue in the septa of septate uteri.
Retrospective review (Canadian Task Force classification II-2).
University-affiliated tertiary referral center.
Twenty-nine consecutive women with uterine septa diagnosed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
The MRI examination was performed with a 1.5 Tesla scanner using high-resolution phased array coils with multiplanar fast-spin echo and T1-weighted sequences. Of resected septa, tissue was available in four for histologic evaluation for the presence of myometrial tissue.
In 17 women MRI showed a partial septum, all containing myometrium. The 12 patients with complete septum had evidence of myometrium in the upper part of the septum, with fibrous tissue constituting the lower part. Histology reviewed from four resected septa (2 partial, 2 complete) reported myometrial tissue.
Uterine septa are frequently composed of myometrial tissue.
评估纵隔子宫纵隔中肌层组织的出现频率。
回顾性研究（加拿大工作组分类II-2）。
大学附属三级转诊中心。
29例经磁共振成像（MRI）诊断为子宫纵隔的连续女性。
使用1.5特斯拉扫描仪，采用高分辨率相控阵线圈，通过多平面快速自旋回波和T1加权序列进行MRI检查。在切除的纵隔中，有4例组织可用于组织学评估，以确定肌层组织的存在情况。
17例女性的MRI显示为部分纵隔，均含有肌层。12例完全纵隔患者的纵隔上部有肌层证据，下部为纤维组织。对4例切除的纵隔（2例部分性、2例完全性）进行组织学检查，报告有肌层组织。
子宫纵隔常由肌层组织构成。
