Abnormalities of the uterus and cervix after diethylstilbestrol exposure: correlation of findings on MR and hysterosalpingography

Abstract: We determined the value of MR for detecting abnormalities of the uterus caused by We conclude that MR can be used to detect hypoplasia and other congenital abnormalities of the uterus in women with a history of diethyistilbestrol exposure in utero.

“…Considering the DES-related etiology and morphology, T-shaped uterus was grouped by Buttram and Gibbons 6 and the American Fertility Society (AFS) classification 8 into a separate class of anomalies, with no strict definition or morphometric criteria. However, of the 1-1.5 million women exposed to DES in utero, before its withdrawal from use during pregnancy in 1971, there remain none of reproductive age 9,10 , and yet T-shaped uterus continues to be identified in this group of women, albeit rarely, in this post-DES era 7,11 . T-shaped uterus may be of primary origin 12 or secondary to intrauterine adhesion syndrome 7 , tuberculosis 13 or adenomyosis 14 .…”

“…Estudos avaliando os efeitos das intervenções para útero em O útero em forma de "T" é comumente relacionado à exposição in utero ao DES (6,13), um medicamento prescrito para gestantes em diferentes países para evitar abortos até a década de 1980 (14). As últimas dentre as 1-1,5 milhão de mulheres expostas ao DES intraútero não estão mais em idade reprodutiva (15,16), mas o útero em "T" continua a ser identificado em mulheres jovens (3,17). A patogênese do útero em forma de "T" não é clara, e a etiologia, em muitos casos, é desconhecida (3,13).…”
