Abstract

Clinical manifestations of Mullerian duct abnormalities vary greatly and can range from isolated abnormalities of a single reproductive organ to multiorgan aplasia. An early and precise diagnosis is essential because untreated symptoms may result in pelvic endometriosis, retrograde tubal reflux, and infertility. MRI and ultrasonography are the imaging modality that accurately helps in the diagnosis of mullerian duct anomalies. Two interesting cases came to C. R. Gardi OPD with Mullerian duct anomalies. The first case came with dysmenorrhea and a lower abdominal palpable mass upto 14 wk size was present, which was diagnosed to be bicornuate uterus, obstructed hemivagina. It is a diagnostic dilemma because menses were regular. Another case came with severe cyclic dysmenorrhea and was found to be a hematometra in the non-communicating rudimentary horn on the left side.
