Abstract

Background: Congenital uterine abnormalities result from abnormal formation, fusion or resorption of the Mullerian ducts during fetal life. These abnormalities have been associated with an increased rate of miscarriage, preterm birth, and other fetal adverse outcomes. Material and methods: Was performed a clinical observational retrospective study of uterine malformations, diagnosed in the Republic of Moldova. Pelvic MRI (1.5-3 tesla) with contrast and without were examined, from 01.01.2016 to 20.11.2016. During this time, 190 MRIs were performed according to the program, 167 MRIs were included in the study, 23 MRIs were excluded, having total or partial hysterectomy performed. The age of the examined persons is between 81 years and 6 months. Results: 15 uterine malformations were detected, which represent 11.13%. Among the uterine abnormalities were detected 6 cases of bicorn uterus, 3 cases of didelph uterus, 2 cases of uterine agenesis and septate uterus and one case of arcuate uterus, and unicorn. Conclusions: In this study it was determined that the prevalence of uterine malformations in an unselected population in the Republic of Moldova is 11.13%, and that of the septate uterus is 1.2%, data that are similar and correspond to the international literature.
