Abstract
On vaginal US, two cervical canals [Figure 2] and two uterine cavities [Figures 3 and 4] were noticed. At the level of the miduterus, there was a median discontinuation of the uterine wall, separating the uterine body in two [Figure 5-7]. intErprEtAtion Congenital malformations of the female urogenital tract, with a prevalence of 2%–10%, are the result of an impaired development of the Müllerian ducts and/or urogenital sinus. The fallopian tubes, the uterus, and the upper part of the vagina have their embryological origin in the Müllerian ducts, while the urogenital sinus originates the most distal part of the vagina. Any disruption in any part of this process may lead to an impaired genitourinary development.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Medical Ultrasound is the peer-reviewed publication of the Asian Federation of Societies for Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology, and the Chinese Taipei Society of Ultrasound in Medicine. Its aim is to promote clinical and scientific research in ultrasonography, and to serve as a channel of communication among sonologists, sonographers, and medical ultrasound physicians in the Asia-Pacific region and wider international community. The Journal invites original contributions relating to the clinical and laboratory investigations and applications of ultrasonography.
