Abnormalities of the Uterus.—An arrest of fetal developmentgives rise to a number of deviations from the ordinary uterine type, ofwhich we borrow from Courty the following as of direct obstetricalimportance. 1. Uterus Unicornis. — The one-horned uterus results from theatrophy or incomplete development of one of the filaments of Miiller,. Fig. 27.—Uterus septus bilocularis. Double uterus, with simple vagina, seen from the walls more developed in consequence of pregnancy. (Cruveilhier.) while the other continues its evolution. We then have a uterus whichis composed of a single lateral half, possessing generally but one Fallo-pian tube. 2. Uterus Duplex, or Didelphys.—Both filaments of Miiller are de-veloped, but do not become united together. Thus two distinct uteri 3 u PHYSIOLOGICAL ANATOMY. are produced, of which each represents in reality the half of a normaluterus. 3. Uterus Bicornis.—Partial union of the filaments of Muller takesplace, but without reaching the ordinary level indicated by the inser-tions of the round ligaments. The upper portion of the uterus is thusdivided into two horns, separated by a furrow from one another. 4. Uterus Cordiformis.—The uterus remains of the fetal type indi-cated in Fig. 26.
