Uterine malformations are developmental abnormalities of the Müllerian ducts. It is a heterogeneous group of pathology and anatomy whose diagnosis must be accurate. Imaging plays an essential role in the diagnosis with 2D/3D ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the gold standard in accurate diagnosis. We reported two cases of uterine malformations about Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome in a 20-year-old patient and 22-year-old patient. These anomalies are associated with renal malformations. The diagnosis was made by chance, by MRI which was performed in these patients. The management of these uterine malformations includes a psychological support component. There is a non-surgical treatment, but also, depending on the malformation, a surgical treatment. The complications of these malformations are dominated by recurrent miscarriages and infertility.
Keywords: Malformation, Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome, MRI, Uterus
