OBJECTIVE: @entity1157 ( @entity1157 ) result from nondevelopment or nonfusion of the m  llerian ducts and occur in 1-5% of @entity1 . Accurate diagnosis of the various subtypes is of great importance as @entity1157 are frequently associated with a broad variety of clinical symptoms. Recently, evidence arose that MRI might play a major role in diagnosis of @entity1157 . We present four cases of diverse subtypes of @entity1157 and the corresponding MRI findings. MATERIALS AND METHODS: @entity1 (n = 4) with clinical suspicion of @entity1157 were examined with MRI. Coronal and transaxial T1- and T2-weighted images were acquired. Diagnosis was made and @entity1 were grouped according to the American Fertility Society's classification. @entity1 underwent laparoscopy or laparotomy in order to confirm the diagnosis. RESULTS: MRI revealed @entity1157 in all @entity1 . In detail, one @entity1 was diagnosed with hypoplastic uterus, one with unicornuate uterus with a noncommunicating rudimentary horn, one with bicornuate uterus bicollis with a @entity8376 and one with septate uterus. MRI diagnosis was correct in all cases, as confirmed by subsequent surgical intervention. CONCLUSION: MRI is a valuable tool in diagnosis of MDA subtypes. Its use will help to spare @entity1 mutilating surgery and to prevent pregnancy-associated complications.
