Case report and literature analysis on individualized hysteroscopic management of complex Müllerian anomalies complicated by bilateral adenomyosis
To investigate the clinical characteristics and individualized hysteroscopic conservative treatment strategies for a case of uterine didelphys with a single vagina complicated by bilateral adenomyosis, adenomyoma, and endometrial polyps.
Approach:
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of a reproductive-aged female patient admitted to Shenzhen Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine. The patient’s medical history, imaging features, surgical approach, and foll…
Key Findings:
The patient presented with progressively worsening dysmenorrhea and menorrhagia.
Imaging revealed uterine didelphys with bilateral diffuse adenomyosis and adenomyoma, accompanied by endometrial polyps.
Hysteroscopic polypectomy was performed, followed by the placement of a levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system in the right cavity and a GyneFix® IUD in the left cavity.
At the 12-month follow-up, the patient's dysmenorrhea VAS score decreased from 9 to 2, and the PBAC score decreased from 280 to 35, with no device expulsion or lesion recurrence.
Interpretation:
Hysteroscopic individualized selection and suture fixation of intrauterine devices can serve as an effective uterus-preserving treatment option for patients with complex uterine anomalies complicated by adenomyosis.
Limitations:
The study is based on a single case, limiting generalizability.
Long-term outcomes beyond 12 months are not reported.
Conclusion:
The case highlights the potential for individualized hysteroscopic approaches in managing complex Müllerian anomalies.
