Case Discussion

In this case, even though HSG showed a large interconuate distance, which is more common in bicornuate uterus. MRI showed a fibromuscular septum dividing the uterine cavity and no fundal cleft consistent with a septate uterus.

MRI is considered the current imaging modality of choice in the differentiation between bicornuate and septate uterus.
