Uterus didelphys with fibroids and left tubal block

No available history.

  • Hysterosalpingography (HSG):

    • Two uterine cervices were found by initial examination.
    • The left one was first cannulated, large uterine horn is demonstrated, it shows multiple filling defects suggesting submucosal fibroids.
    • The left tube is blocked.
    • The other cervix was then cannulated and contrast injection reveals a second uterine horn with patent tube.
  • Whenever you see a unicornuate uterus, look for another cervix to rule out uterus didelphys. The other cervix is not necessarily easily seen by examination.
  • If uterus didelphys is associated with obstructed longitudinal vaginal septum, only one cervical Os. may be depicted, and it may be cannulated with the endometrial configuration mimicking a unicornuate uterus.
