Septate uterus: sonographic diagnosis and obstetric complications.
The present study is a report of the authors' sonographic and obstetric experience in seven cases with anatomically confirmed partial uterine septa. Emphasis is placed on the sonographic appearance and the differential diagnosis of a uterine septum. New sonographic findings are described that can resemble the appearance of a uterine septum during pregnancy, including uterine contractions, cystic masses adjacent to the uterine fundus, and a full urinary bladder. Obstetric complications are compared with previous studies. The authors observed one major obstetric complication of fetal malpresentation.
