ABSTRACT

Objective: To demonstrate the applications of MR, evaluating the uterine abnormal morphology, with bibliographical revision of mullerian abnormalities.
Material and methods: A 1.5 tesla Avanto Siemens Resonator Tim (76 x 18) was used, in CT Scanner del Sur. 52 cases of patients with uterine pathology retrospectively. In a period comprised among July, 2005 and august 2007.
Results: Of the 52 patients, 14 patients were obtained with uterine abnormalities representing 7.2%. In frequencies, it was obtained: five patients with didelfo uterus, three with septated uterus, three with bent uterus, two with bicorne uterus, one with unicorn uterus. In the class I and II T2 sequences were used with planes of the short and long axis, sagittal and parasagital cuts. In the class III in T1 and T2 in axial plane. Class IV Bicornuate and class V Septate T2 was used in axial and coronal plane. Class VI bent, with fibrous hypotense tissue and isotense myometrium in T 2
Conclusion: The MR, up to date is the non invasive method to solve not very conclusive cases, it demonstrates a great advantage in front of US and HSG, it is used so much in women in reproductive age and in adolescent youths with multiple and complex abnormalities. Useful in preoperative planning for women with infertility.
