Uterus didelphys
Uterus didelphys or uterus didelphis represents a uterine malformation where the uterus is present as a paired organ as the embryogenetic fusion of the mullerian ducts failed to occur. As a result there is a double uterus with two separate cervices, and often a double vagina as well. Each uterus has a single horn linked to the ipsilateral fallopian tube that faces its ovary, Uterus didelphys is rare case in the worlds.
About Uterus didelphys last case example reported from Marquette General Hospital on Sarah Reinfelder, 21 years old, gave birth to Kaylin Joy and Valerie Marie a little after noon Thursday via caesarean section. Although seven weeks premature, the babies are healthy and Sarah is doing fine. What is unusual about these twins is that they came from two different uteri.
Sarah has a condition called uterus didelphys, meaning she has two separate uteri and cervixes. While uterus didelphys is a rare condition in itself, what is even more rare is that she carried a baby in each at the same time, about a one in 5 million chance. There have only been three other documented cases in the world in the past 40 years of this happening about Uterus didelphys.
