Developmental defects of uterine cavity: presentation of seven patients

ABSTRACT

The diagnosis of intrauterine conditions that may cause infertility is generally made by hysterosalpingography [HSG]. Herein, we are presenting seven hysterosalpingographically-proven patients of Developmental Uterine Cavity Defects. We believed that some of developmental defects of these uterine cavity have not been addressed in preceding medical texts. Accurate diagnosis and reports of such cases are important not only for the benefit of treatment but also to reflect the true incidence of these anomalies and to consolidate embryologic concept. The presented anomalies included [flying bird] uterus, [wine-glass-shaped] uterus, [buffalo head] uterus, [heart-shaped] uterus, [phantom-shaped] uterus, [candle light] uterus, and [jackal-shaped] uterus. The presented cases belonged to many years before, thus they were not evaluated by recently-developed advanced diagnostic modalities
