A bicornuate uterus or bicornate uterus (from the Latin ''cornū'', meaning "horn"), commonly referred to as a "heart-shaped" uterus, is a uterus composed of two "horns" separated by a septum. In humans, a bicornuate uterus is a type of uterine malformation, but in some other mammalian species, including rodents and pigs, it is normal. ==Pathophysiology== A bicornuate uterus is formed during embryogenesis. The fusion process of the upper part of the paramesonephric ducts is altered. As a result, the lower part of the uterus is unitary while the upper part is bifurcated. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「bicornuate uterus」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
