Uterine Anomalies

Holmes (1956) reported a mother with uterus arcuatus who delivered a stillborn female in whom uterus bicornis unicollis was demonstrated at autopsy. Similar uterine anomalies were described in mother and daughter by Stevenson et al. (1959) and in sisters by Drescher (1966) and Nykiforuk (1938). Polishuk and Ron (1974) described 3 families, each with at least 2 sisters with marked uterine anomaly. One of these families was the first reported instance of familial double uterus.
