Description
In this radiology lecture, we discuss the MRI appearance of septate uterus, and explain how to differentiate from other uterine anomalies.
Key points include:
* Most common müllerian duct anomaly (55%): Septal reabsorption abnormality.
* Ultrasound and MRI provide assessment of external uterine contour and presence of renal anomalies.
* Hysterosalpingogram of limited value, cannot reliably differentiate between subtypes.
* On MRI, uterine fundus is typically convex or minimally indented: Fundal cleft less than 1 cm.
* Midline septum of variable length, may be muscular or fibrous.
* Important to differentiate type of septum as may alter surgical approach.
* Compared to bicornuate uterus, higher incidence of reproductive complications (miscarriage).
* Treatment: Resection of septum if recurrent fetal loss.
