Bicornuate Uterus - Classification

Classification

There are many degrees of a bicornuate uterus. There is a continuous range of the degree and location of the Müllerian ducts (Paramesonephric ducts) fusion and existence of a spectrum rather than a fixed number of types corresponding to strict medical definitions. Two processes that occur during the embryonic development of the Müllerian ducts - fusion and reabsorption - can be affected to different degrees. The degree can determine the likeliness of a pregnancy reaching full-term.
