What is the difference between a septate and bicornuate uterus?

By Zaira Salvador B.Sc., M.Sc. (embryologist).

A bicornuate uterus occurs when the two Müllerian ducts do not fuse completely. On the contrary, it is considered a septate uterus when the two Müllerian ducts fuse but the resorption of the septum is incomplete.
