| description |
The uterus, along with the ovaries, Fallopian tubes, and vagina, is part of the female internal reproductive organs. During the embryonic stage, it develops from the Müllerian ducts. Müllerian malformations are a group of gynecological conditions that can exhibit varying symptoms. According to the classification by the American Society for Reproductive Medicine, these malformations are categorized into 7 types: Hypoplasia and Agenesis (I), Unicornuate Uterus (II), Didelphic Uterus (III), Septate Uterus (IV), Bicornuate Uterus (V), Arcuate Uterus (VI), and DES (diethylstilbestrol)-related (VII). Our objective at the Department of Normal Anatomy at the National University of Córdoba was to observe and describe the morphology of the uterus in the embryonic stage and compare it with literature on fully developed uteri.
We analized the uterus from 10 female fetuses, weighing up to 500 grams, ranging from 12 to 24 weeks of gestation, provided by the Misericordia Hospital in Córdoba. They were fixed in 10% formalin, and microdissection tools were used to access the pelvic area.
Out of the 10 fetuses studied, we found two anatomical variations: partial and complete bicornuate uteri. We discovered that 50% were partial bicornuate, 10% were complete bicornuate, and 40% were considered normal, characterized by a convex external contour at the upper part or fundus and an appropriate cavity. It's worth noting that none of the previously mentioned anatomical variations were detected, indicating a 50% occurrence of anatomical variations in the studied uteri, disregarding their developmental stage.
All dissected fetuses exhibited normal uterine development. By the end of the 12th week, they should have transitioned from a concave upper part. Therefore, fetuses displaying a different formation after the fetal period are more likely to result in abnormal uteri at birth. |

Seleme , JS Scheurer , AJ Sanchez Carpio , C Bonada, G Corball, AG uterus útero . The uterus, along with the ovaries, Fallopian tubes, and vagina, is part of the female internal reproductive organs. During the embryonic stage, it develops from the Müllerian ducts. Müllerian malformations are a group of gynecological conditions that can exhibit varying symptoms.

It's worth noting that none of the previously mentioned anatomical variations were detected, indicating a 50% occurrence of anatomical variations in the studied uteri, disregarding their developmental stage. All dissected fetuses exhibited normal uterine development. By the end of the 12th week, they should have transitioned from a concave upper part. Therefore, fetuses displaying a different formation after the fetal period are more likely to result in abnormal uteri at birth. El útero, junto con los ovarios, las trompas de Falopio y la vagina, forma parte de los genitales femeninos internos. Éste, en su etapa embrionaria, se forma a partir de los conductos de Müller. Las malformaciones müllerianas son un grupo de alteraciones ginecológicas que pueden presentar una sintomatología variable. Según la clasificación de la Sociedad Americana de Fertilidad, se clasifica las malformaciones en 7 tipos: Hipoplasia y Agenesia (I), Unicorneo (II), Didelfo (III), Septado (IV), Bicorneo (V) , Arcuato (VI) y Relacionado con DEB (dietiletilbestrol) (VII). Nuestro objetivo, planteado desde la Cátedra de Anatomía Normal de la Universidad Nacional de Córdoba, fue observar y describir la morfología del útero en la etapa embrionaria y comparar con la bibliografía de úteros ya desarrollados. Se trabajó con los úteros de 10 fetos femeninos, de hasta 500 gramos, de 12 semanas a 24 semanas de gestación, cedidos por el Hospital Misericordia de Córdoba. Los mismos se encontraban fijados en formol al 10% y se utilizó instrumental de microdisección para poder acceder a la pelvis. De los 10 fetos estudiados, se encontraron dos variaciones anatómicas presentes: bicornios parciales y completos. Se encontraron 50% bicorne parcial, 10% de bicorne completo y 40% normales, considerando normales a los úteros que presentaban un contorno externo convexo en su parte superior o fondo y una cavidad adecuada. Cabe destacar que no se detectó ningúna de las otras variaciones anatómicas previamente mencionadas, por lo cual habría un porcentaje de 50% de variaciones anatómicas en los úteros estudiados, despreciando en la etapa de desarrollo que se encuentran. Todos los fetos diseccionados presentan un desarrollo uterino normal. Llegando al final de la semana 12, deberían dejar de presentar una forma cóncava en la parte superior. Por ende, los fetos que muestren una formación distinta después del periodo fetal tienen mayor probabilidad de resultar en úteros anómalos al nacer. . Universidad Nacional Córdoba.
