Septate uterus associated with cervical duplication and vaginal septum.
A woman had an unusual müllerian anomaly with a septate uterus, cervical duplication, and longitudinal vaginal septum. Gynecologists should be aware of the possibility of cervical duplication associated with uterine septum and not didelphic uterus, as this disorder in a patient with infertility or recurrent miscarriages can be treated surgically by resection of the uterine and vaginal septum. Embryologic explanations may account for the occurrence of the anomaly.
