Development of uterus

♣Origin:

Middle part of Mullerian duct.

♣Mullerian duct:

◊ 2 ducts develop as invagination of
coelomic epithelium.
◊ They are lateral to genital ridge &
Wolffian system.
◊ It extends on each side & caudally
as following
* 1st part (Cranial long. part)
lateral to Wolffian duct,
* 2nd part (Middle transverse
part) crossing infront of Wolffian duct,
* 3rd part (Caudal long. part) medial to Wolffian duct.
◊ It reach the dorsal wall of urogenital sinus at the 9th week.
◊ They are solid rods then undergo canalization.
◊ The upper ends are separate & form fallopian tube & later on fimbriae develop
around the distal opening.
◊ The lower parts of Mullerian duct fuse together to form the uterus, cervix &
median septum between them disappear forming vagina (Upper 3/4).

♣Congenital anomalies:

A. Imperfect development

1) Aplasia:
◊ Def.: complete absence of the uterus.
◊ Anomaly: Both ducts didn’t develop.
◊ C/p: lry amenorrhea as part of Mullerian agenesis
(i.e. associated with no tubes & no upper 3/4 of the vagina).
◊ Complications: sterility (incurable cause of infertility).
◊ Treatment: has no treatment.
2) Hypoplasia:
◊ Def.: total length of the uterus & cervix<6.25 cm.(N. 7.5 cm)
◊ Anomaly: poor development of both ducts.
◊ C/p: according to the degree:
a.Rudimentary solid uterus:
* Small solid organ having no cavity.
* Primary amenorrhea.
b.Infantile uterus:
* Retains infantile dimensions (Body / Cervix = 1/2)
* lry amenorrhea.
c. Prepubertal uterus:
* Retains prepubertal dimensions (Body / Cervix = 1/1)
* Delayed menarche or hypomenorrhea or habitual abortion of increasing duration.
◊ Complications: * infertility * spasmodic dysmenorrhea
* Habitual abortion & preterm labour.
◊ Treatment: Cyclic estrogen & progesterone therapy if the uterus has a cavity.

3) Uterus unicornis (unicornuate uterus):
◊ One Mullerian duct didn’t develop (one tube only).
4) Uterus with rudimentary horn:
◊ Def.: Defective development of one Mullerian duct.
◊ Anomaly: One duct developed correctly,
While the other one developed poorly.
◊ Types: *Communicating. *Non-communicating.
◊ Complications: * Spasmodic dysmenorrhea
* Ectopic pregnancy.
* Obstructed labour.
◊ Treatment: Excision of the rudimentary horn.

B. Imperfect fusion of Mullerian ducts:

♣ Types:
1) Uterus didelphys: uterus bicornis bicollis with
double vagina:2 bodies + 2 cervices with 2 vaginae
2) Uterus pseudodidelphys: uterus bicornis bicollis
with single vagina:
2 bodies + 2 cervices + 1 vagina.
2 bodies & 2 cervices are attached together.
3) Bicornuate uterus(uterus bicornis unicollis):
2 bodies + 1 cervix + 1 vagina.
4) Arcuate uterus: broad depressed fundus.
5) Septate uterus: complete longitudinal median septum.
6) Subsptate uterus: incomplete longitudinal median septum.
♣C/P of uterine anomalies due to imperfect fusion:
1) Amenorrhea & Infertility: In uterine hypoplasia.
2) Menorrhagia: due to ↑ surface area of endometrium in 1st 3 types.
3) Spasmodic dysmenorrhea: due to abnormal configuration of muscle fibres.
4) Habitual abortion: *Cervix is incompetent,
*Uterus is hypoplastic,
*Poor implantation in uterine septum.
5) Ectopic pregnancy: If zygot implanted in a rudimentary horn.
6) Placenta acreta: If zygot implanted over a uterine septum.
7) Malpresentations: as transverse lie in bicornuate uterus.
8) Obstructed labour: As in case of long. vag. septum.

C. Imperfect canalization:

◊ Cervical atresia or stenosis.
◊ Complications:
*spasmodic dysmenorrhea. * Hematometra & hematosalpinx.
*pyometra. * Infertility.
*Cervical dystocia during labour (If pregnancy occurs).

D. Other anomalies:

1) Congenital pseudoprolapse:
Congenital elongation of portio-vaginalis of the cervix,
C/P: dyspareunia & infertility.
D.D.: congenital prolapse.
Treatment: excision.
2)Cochleate uterus (C-shaped uterus):
Cause: marked growth of the posterior wall
of the uterus > anterior wall so,
fundus & external os look forward.
C/p: spasmodic dysmenorrhea & infertility.
3)R.V.F. uterus (retroverted retroflexed uterus).
4)Patulous internal os (isthmic incompetence):
Passage of Hegar No. 8 through the internal os without pain or resistance.
Complications: *habitual abortion. *habitual preterm labour.

Development of Fallopian tube

♣Origin:

u1/3 (Cranial longitudinal part) of Mullerian tube.

♣Congenital anomalies

1. Aplasia: complete absence of tubes (usually part of Mullerian agenesis).
2. Hypoplasia:
* thin long tortuous tube.
* may lead to ectopic
pregnancy & infertility.
3. Accessory ostium : leads to
infertility or ectopic pregnancy.
4. Narrow ostium: (fimbrial
phimosis) :leads to infertility.
5. Congenital diverticulum:
predisposes to ectopic pregnancy.
