Abstract

Müllerian duct anomalies (MDAs) refer to defects arising during the embryological development of the female reproductive system. They are characterized by the failure of vertical fusion of the bilateral paramesonephric ducts with the urogenital sinus. Patients usually present with primary amenorrhea, infertility, recurrent miscarriages, and abdominal pain. Here, we discuss 9 patients who had presented to our tertiary care teaching institute with varying symptoms and were diagnosed with Müllerian anomalies and their management at our hospital.
