a congenital malformation of the uterus in which it is divided internally by a septum and appears to have two 'horns.'
A uterine anomaly in which the Mullerian ducts, before birth, do not join completely, with the consequence that there is a double uterus, in which each of the two sides is smaller than a normal uterus and receives just one fallopian tube. Diagnosed by hysterosalpingogram, by hysteroscopy and laparoscopy, or by transvaginal ultrasound (preferably three-dimensional ultrasound).
a uterus that has two horns and a heart shape
a uterus that has two sides of the uterus that are attached at teh cervix but not at the top of the uterus
a Y-shaped uterus resulting from incomplete fusion of the paramesonephric ducts during formation of the uterovaginal canal
An abnormality of the uterus that occurs before birth. A partial or complete vertical division of the body of the uterus. Bicornuate means “two-horned”.
A congential malformation of the uterus in which it appears to have two "horns " (cornu).
a uterus that is split into two smaller cavities. This condition may or may not interfere with pregnancy. If necessary, this condition can often be surgically repaired to create a single uterine cavity. Patients who have had this type of uterine repair will need to have a caesarean section.
A uterus with two horns and a heart shape. Miscarriage rates can be increased because there are specific spots in the uterus where the blood flow is minimal, and if the baby implants there, it may not get adequate nutrients. Position of implantation can also complicate vaginal births or increase risks of premature birth.
Partial lack of fusion of the mullerian ducts produces a single cervix with a varying degree of the two uterine horns. Untreated, it can be associated with a live birth rate of 60 % or greater.
A congenital malformation of the uterus where the upper portion (horn) is duplicated.
