Mullerian abnormalities happen when müllerian channels grow abnormally, which can
damage the growth of the entire generative system, including the fallopian tubes,
uterus, cervix, and upper two-thirds of the vagina.

###  **Which ultrasound scanner is used for Mullerian anomalies assessment?**

 3D Ultrasound scanner with a convex probe with low frequency [SIFULTRAS-5.21](https://sifsof.com/product/wireless-color-portable-ultrasound-convex-3-5-5mhz-sifultras-5-21/)
and/or endocavitary probe is best used to visualize the Müllerian anomalies of the
uterine.

The capacity to accurately recognize the type of an anomaly becomes hard as pregnancy
advances. It is noninvasive, relatively cheap and appropriate, as most pregnant 
women go through ultrasound testing routinely.

However, early in pregnancy three-dimensional ultrasound is used to assess both 
the uterine contour and cavity. The use of cervical length ultrasound to stratify
patients at greatest risk of preterm delivery is routinely used in other high-risk
obstetric populations and may prove beneficial in women with uterine anomalies.

On 3D ultrasound, the connection of the cavity with the fundus is obvious, allowing
accurate diagnosis thanks to the contribution of the C‐plane (coronal) that is impossible
to acquire in most cases on 2D ultrasound yet is essential to the diagnosis of these
anomalies.

Not to mention the ability to observe uterine malformations with less extreme forms(
arcuate, septate and bicornuate uterus) two cavities with further details.

 Additionally, 3D ultrasound allows us to make measurements such as the length and
thickness of the septum, calculate the volume of the cavity and study the vascularization,
which can affect fertility prognosis, thus aiding the choice of treatment.

The success of 3D ultrasound in the diagnosis of uterine malformations is well recorded
in the medical field. (
