Résumé
Background: Congenital uterine anomalies are not only uncommon, many are asymptomatic. A uterine malformation is a type of female genital malformation resulting from an abnormal development of the mullerian ducts during embryogenesis. The prevalence of uterine malformation is estimated to be 6.7% in general population.Methods: This study has included 2423 women who attended family planning OPD in KGMU for purpose of laparoscopic tubal ligation along with general and systemic examination. During the laproscopic ligation procedure the observed uterine anomalies were noted and compared to the data available in the existing medical literature.Results: Out of 2423 females included in this study during 2011-2016, 104 (4.29%) females were diagnosed with uterine anomalies. The Commonest uterine anomaly was arcuate uterus which was seen in 77 patients. (3.1%). Uni-cornuate uterus was seen in 19 patients (0.8%) and bi-cornuate uterus was seen in 9 patients (0.3%). 3 out of these were uni-cornuate uterus with rudimentary horn.Conclusions: Though the congenital uterine malformations are frequent findings in infertile patients but few malformations like uni-cornuate uterus, arcuate uterus and bicornuate uterus are although rare but seen in fertile females, showing their lesser impact on pregnancy and its outcome.
Résumé
Mullerian duct fusion anomalies resulting in uterine malformations have prevalence of 3-4%. Among this, bicornuate uterus has a rare incidence of 0.4%. Uterine malformations pose significant threat in terms of obstetric outcomes. We report an extremely rare case of spontaneous conception of twin pregnancy with the fetus occupying each horn of a bicornuate uterus (bicornis unicollis), in a woman with a history of previous caesarean section. She was booked at our hospital and the pregnancy remained uneventful. At 35 weeks she went into spontaneous labour and delivered vaginally without any maternal-fetal complications. The case is unique and the management is worth discussing as till date no protocols or guidelines have been proposed for the mode of delivery of bicornuate uterus with twins with previous cesarean. Only 12 cases of twins with bicornuate uterus have been reported till date. This is the first case in literature in which a successful VBAC has been conducted in a woman with bicornuate uterus with twins with previous caesarean.
Résumé
Objective To discuss the accuracy of three-dimensional (3D) sonography in diagnosing arcuate uterus and septate uterus and propose a quantitative indicator in distinguishing arcuate uterus and septate uterus.Methods Ninety-six patients with suspected congenital uterine malformation underwent 3D sonography to assess uterine anomalies at Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital of Fudan University from August 2011 to March 2013.Uterine coronal section was reconstructed and measured in onmi view imaging mode of 3D sonography.Then qualitative diagnosis and categorization was done.The results were compared with diagnosis of hysteroscopy,hysteroscopy combined with laparoscope to determine the sensitivity,specificity,positive predictive values,negative predictive values and total accuracy of 3D sonography in diagnosing arcuate uterus,partial and complete septate uterus respectively.The variable was created in coronal section of uterus constructed through 3D imaging mode to differentiate arcuate uterus from septate uterus.Results There were 33 cases (34.4％,33/96) of arcuate uterus,54 cases (56.2％,54/96) of partial septate uterus and 9 cases (9.4％,9/96) of complete uterus in 96 cases diagnosed by 3D sonography.The accuracy of 3D sonography in diagnosing arcuate uterus and septate uterus was 86.5％.We concluded that 3D sonography had 100％ sensitivity,82.9％ specificity,60.6％ positive predictive value and 100％negative predictive value in the diagnosis of arcuate uterus.The sensitivity of 3D sonography for diagnosis of partial septate uterus was 80.6％,the specificity was 100％,the positive predictive value was 100％,and the negative predictive value was 69.1％.The sensitivity,specificity,positive and negative predictive values of 3D sonography for detecting complete septate uterus were all 100％.The ratio of depth of uterine internal indentation and depth from uterine fundus to the top of intemal indentation was more than 50％ for septate uterus,while less than 50％ for most of the arcuate uterus.Conclusions The diagnostic efficiency of 3D sonography in specific uterine malformation is different.The new quantitative indicator maybe helpful in improving the accuracy of 3D sonography in diagnosing arcuate uterus and septate uterus.

Objective To study on the factors of countercurrent occured in hysterosalpingography to improve the understanding of countercurrent.Methods 180 patients who underwent hysterosalpingography due to infertility were recruited,and 63 of them who were involved in countercurrent in the process of hysterosalpingography were analyzed statistically.Results The single factor analy-sis demonstrated that such four factors of primary/secondary infertility,menstrual clean days,tubal obstruction or not,and depth of cannula were associated with countercurrent,while Logistic regression analysis indicated that the factors of menstrual clean days, tubal obstruction or not,and depth of cannula during the hysterosalpingography operation were closely related.Conclusion Counter-current are caused by the comprehensive impact of several comprehensive factors like menstrual clean day,tubal obstruction or not, and cannula operation.Therefore adequate preparation should be made before and during the operation,to reduce the occurrences of countercurrent.
Résumé
El útero doble es una malformación congénita, resultado de un desarrollo anormal de los conductos müllerianos durante la embriogénesis, presentándose de manera asintomática en la mayoría de las pacientes, aunque se puede asociar a trastornos de fertilidad y complicaciones obstétricas en la etapa reproductiva, tales como amenaza de aborto y abortos, parto pretérmino, anomalías de posición fetal y otras. Se presenta el caso de una paciente que acude al cuerpo de guardia de ginecología refiriendo dolor en hipogastrio de 6 h de evolución acompañado de sangramiento genital con falta de menstruación de 9 a 10 semanas, en la que el examen clínico hace sospechar una amenaza de aborto con mioma uterino; pero, al realizar ecografía ginecológica abdominal, se constata la presencia de dos úteros, uno de estos con embarazo normal de 11 semanas.
Double uterus is a congenital malformation resulting from abnormal development of Mullerian ducts during embryogenesis. It is asymptomatic in most patients, although it may be associated with fertility disorders and reproductive obstetric complications such as abortion and abortion threat, preterm delivery, fetal stage position anomalies, and others. It is presented here the case of a patient who comes to gynecological emergency referring pain in lower abdomen for 6 hours and genital bleeding with lack of menstruation for 9-10 weeks. Clinical examination raises suspicion of abortion threatening with uterine fibroids; but, when performing gynecological abdominal ultrasound, the presence of two uteri is observed, one of these with normal pregnancy of 11 weeks.
Résumé
Introducción. La atención de los aspectos ginecológicos de las niñas y adolescentes se encuentra en fase de desarrollo en todo el mundo. Desde 1994, en el Hospital de Pediatría, Centro Médico Nacional Siglo XXI, se empieza a brindar atención ginecológica a la población pediátrica por un equipo multidisciplinario que conforma la Clínica de Ginecología Pediátrica. Se describen los motivos de consulta ginecológica de pacientes atendidas entre 1996-2011. Métodos. Se realizó una revisión de los registros de la consulta de la Clínica de Ginecología Pediátrica para identificar la edad de las pacientes al momento de la atención y los diagnósticos registrados en el periodo de estudio. Resultados. En el periodo de 15 años se otorgaron 3,200 consultas, es decir, en promedio de 226 por año. El 90% fueron para pacientes con enfermedad crónica; el resto fueron pacientes derivadas de segundo nivel de atención sin enfermedad de base. El motivo principal de consulta fue por alteraciones menstruales (58%), seguido por patologías vulvo-vaginales (16.1%), malformaciones uterinas y tumores de ovario y de útero. Conclusiones. La clínica de Ginecología ha permitido mejorar la calidad de atención de las niñas y adolescentes, en particular las que tienen una enfermedad de fondo. Es importante la detección de pacientes con problemas ginecológicos desde el primer nivel de atención.
Background. Pediatric and adolescent gynecology is undergoing a developmental phase worldwide. Since 1994, the Hospital of Pediatrics of the Centro Medico Nacional Siglo XXI (National Medical Center XXI Century) has been providing gynecological care for the pediatric population by a multidisciplinary team at the Pediatric Clinic of Gynecology. The objective of this study is to describe the reasons for gynecological consultation between 1996 and 2011. Methods. We reviewed the consultation records of the Pediatric Clinic of Gynecology to identify patients' ages at the time of care and diagnoses recorded during the study period. Results. During the 15-year period, 3,200 consultations were given, averaging 226 consultations per year: 90% of these consultations were for patients with chronic disease and 10% for patients referred from secondary medical care institutions but without underlying disease. The primary complaint was menstrual disorders (58%) followed by vulvovaginal pathology (16.1%), uterine malformations and tumors of the ovary and uterus. Conclusions. The Pediatric Clinic of Gynecology has improved the quality of care for young girls and adolescents, particularly those with an underlying disease. It is important to detect patients with gynecologic problems from a primary care setting.

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to establish the distribution and obstetric outcomes in women with congenital uterine malformations. METHODS: A review of the medical records from the department of obstetrics and gynecology from January 1995 to June 2004 were diagnosed 79 patients with congenital uterine malformations. All of the cases were divided into groups according to classification of ASRM (American Society for Reproductive Medicine), which is based on the degree of failure of normal development of the female genital tact. The obstetric outcomes were compared between the groups. Statistical processing of the material was carried with Pearson chi square test. RESULTS: 79 patientss with congenital uterine malformations were diagnosed by operation or imaging studies. Symmetric congenital uterine malformations, consisting of bicornuate uterus (45.6%), septate uterus (19.0%), and uterus didelphys (31.6%), were the most common, constituting 96.2% of the malformations. Two patients (2.5%) had unicornuate uterus and one patient (1.3%) had arcuate uterus. No cases of the agenesis type and T-shaped uteri were found. 196 pregnancies occurred in the 74 patients. Only 43.4% of the pregnancies reached term, while 8.2% resulted in preterm delivery, and 48.4% terminated as miscarriages. CONCLUSION: Obstetric complications occur more frequently among women with congenital uterine malformations than among women in general. Knowledge concerning of congenital uterine malformations is important in recognizing and managing the obstetric complications that may result.
