Abstract

Introduction: Congenital anomalies of the reproductive tract may involve the uterus,cervix, fallopian tubes or vagina. Uterine anomalies are the most common of the mullerian anomalies. They are mainly diagnosed during work up for infertility, recurrent pregnancy loss, and cyclic pelvic pain and at times they may be detected incidently. But sometimes these anomalies results in life threatening haemorrhagic shock. In the present series of case reports all the patients presented in haemorrhagic shock and diagnosed as cases of mullerian anomalies not known before. Material & methods: this is a retrospective study; all the patients presented in shockdue to mullerian anomalies were recruited for the study. Shock is graded as per protocols. Case reports: we are reporting a series of five patients all of different mullerian anomalies but the presentation was common i.e. haemorrhagic shock. All the patients presented with different degree of shock. All the patients were operated with a provisional diagnosis but intraoperatively diagnoses were completely changed. Conclusion: we need to be more attentive while managing cases of haemorrhagic shock regarding presence of mullerian anomalies.
