Intrauterine Adhesion-Induced Septated Amniotic Cavity: Ultrasonographic Findings in Second and Third Trimesters

A 40-year-old woman who had obstetric history of one vaginal delivery and two surgical abortions to terminate early pregnancy received regular prenatal care without any systemic maternal diseases. During the detailed second trimester ultrasound, a homogenous adhesion-induced pseudocystic lesion of 8...

description A 40-year-old woman who had obstetric history of one vaginal delivery and two surgical abortions to terminate early pregnancy received regular prenatal care without any systemic maternal diseases. During the detailed second trimester ultrasound, a homogenous adhesion-induced pseudocystic lesion of 8.6 × 7.4 cm was found between the inlet of the endocervix and the uterine cavity in the lower segment of the uterus. There was a clear septum with an inlet of about 2.6 cm near the right lower segment of the uterus. Transvaginal sonography showed a cervical length of 3.29 cm without dilatation. No gross fetal anomalies were found. Sometimes, the fetal head or limbs moved into this cystic space. At 36 3/7 weeks of gestation, a cesarean section was arranged for fetal breech presentation and pre-labor rupture of the membrane. After the delivery of the baby and its placenta, there was no obvious septum in the uterine cavity but only a very short fibrous tissue from the posterior wall of uterus, which could be destroyed when the baby was delivered. No adverse outcomes for the mother or the neonate were observed.
