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.

Co-existent vaginal anomalies |
Sub-class V0 or normal vagina incorporates all cases of normal vaginal development. Sub-class V1 or longitudinal non-obstructing vaginal septum. The incorporated anomaly in this sub-class is clear; it gives the opportunity to classify variants of septate or bicorporeal uteri together with septate or double cervices. Sub-class V2 or longitudinal obstructing vaginal septum. The incorporated anomaly in this sub-class is also clear, and its utility for the effective classification of obstructing anomalies due to vaginal defects is obvious. Sub-class V3 or transverse vaginal septum and/or imperforate hymen. This sub-class incorporates obviously different vaginal anomalies and their variants (mainly those of transverse vaginal septa); this was decided in order to avoid an extremely extensive sub-classification for the classification system’s simplicity. The decision to put together those vaginal anomalies in this sub-class is due to the fact that they are usually present as isolated vaginal defects and they have the same clinical presentation (obstructing anomalies). Sub-class V4 or vaginal aplasia incorporates all cases of complete or partial vaginal aplasia. |
