  • Title: Noncanalized horns of uterus didelphys with prolapse: a unique case in a young woman.
    Author: Christopoulos P, Deligeoroglou E, Liapis A, Agapitos E, Papadias K, Creatsas G.
    Journal: Gynecol Obstet Invest; 2009; 67(3):183-6. PubMed ID: 19092256.
    Abstract:
    The authors report the unique case of a 20-year-old patient with prolapsed uterus didelphys with noncanalized horns, who complained of primary amenorrhea. Clinical examination revealed a rudimentary noncanalized cervix with a third degree prolapse and no palpable uterus. A small prolapsing remnant of a uterus didelphys with 2 noncanalized uterine horns was excised by laparotomy. Ultrastructural examination of subepithelial cervical connective tissue revealed collagen of normal structure, but of low concentration. The etiologies of both the Mullerian ducts anomalies and the genital prolapse are probably multifactorial. Low collagen concentration indicates a constitutional tissue weakness contributing to the development of genital prolapse.
