Magnetic resonance imaging in diagnosis and classification of uterovaginal congenital anomalies

Abstract

Uterine congenital anomalies are clinically relevant because these are associated with increased incidences of infertility and menstrual disorder. These are frequently not diagnosed at birth. These anomalies usually diagnosed at child-bearing age when reproductive malfunction arise. When normal mullerian duct development interrupted at any stage, it results in mullerian abnormality. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has an excellent role in evaluation of mullerian duct anomalies. Ultrasonography is the primary investigation; however, MRI is an excellent noninvasive investigation for accurate evaluation of uterine congenital anomalies. MRI is a very good modality to evaluate the vaginal malformation, which usually difficult to evaluate by ultrasound.
