* Sub-class C4 or cervical aplasia incorporates all cases of complete cervical aplasia but also those of severe cervical formation defects. It is characterized either by the absolute absence of any cervical tissue or by the presence of severely defected cervical tissue such as cervical cord, cervical obstruction and cervical fragmentation. The decision to include all variants of cervical dysgenesis in sub-class C4 was made in order to avoid an extremely extensive sub-classification, which does not seem to be user friendly. This sub-class could be combined with a normal or a defected uterine body and gives the opportunity to classify all obstructing anomalies due to cervical defects. | * Sub-class C4 or cervical aplasia incorporates all cases of complete cervical aplasia but also those of severe cervical formation defects.

Classification of Uterine Anomalies ESHRE/ESGE |
---|
Uterine anatomy is the basis of the new system.[1] Embryological origin has been adopted as the secondary basic characteristic in the design of the main classes. Cervical and vaginal anomalies are classified in independent co-existent sub-classes.

Uterine anatomy is the basis of the new 2013 system.[1] Embryological origin has been adopted as the secondary basic characteristic in the design of the main classes. Cervical and vaginal anomalies are classified in independent co-existent sub-classes.
