Abstract: The aim of this paper was to discuss the embryological aspects of Müllerian duct anomalies and to analyze the current diagnostic methods and therapy.Müllerian anomalies are congenital defects of the female reproductive tract resulting from failure in the development of the Müllerian ducts and their associated structures. Their cause has yet to be fully clarified, and it is currently believed to be multifactorial. Symptoms appear principally during adolescence or early adulthood, and affect the reproductive cap… Show more

“…Diagnosis is made by careful examination, followed by imaging. Magnetic resonance provides good cervical imaging and is the best noninvasive method for differentiating septate, bicornuate and didelphys uterus 3,10,16 . Most physicians, however, still use a combined approach with hysteroscopy and laparoscopy to confirm diagnosis.…”

“…We are unaware if the condition develops in consequence of genetic, endocrine, or environmental influences. Neither it is known if it might be associated to failure of the gonad or the mesonephros development (which absence may co-exist with the uterus unicornis), to failure in local gene expression or, in the case of a segmental aplasia, if it might be determined by disruption of the blood supply to the affected segment (Ribeiro et al, 2009;McIntyre et al, 2010).…”
