Female Reproductive Tract Embryology
• XX – barr body (X inactivation), lack of SRY gene (development of ovary)
• Wollfian – mesonephric – remnants in female• Mullerian - paramesonephric• ovary – genital ridge + primordial germ cells• Tubes, Uterus, Cervix, upper 1/3 vagina –
paramesonephric ducts fuse• Lower 2/3 Vagina – sinovaginal bulb (from
urogenital sinus) meets paramesonephric duct

Hermaphrodites
• true hermaphrodite – ovotestes, ambiguous external genitalia; 70% XX;
• pseudohermaphrodite – genetic sex opposite of phenotypic– CAH – masculinized females– Androgen Insensitivity – feminized males
![Page 4: By Ekaterina Tchmoutina R1 3/11/2015. Female Reproductive Tract Embryology XX – barr body (X inactivation), lack of SRY gene (development of ovary) Wollfian.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081506/56649eb75503460f94bc08b2/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Genetic Syndromes
• Swyer Syndrome = XY gonadal dysgenesis – point mutation of SRY gene – no oocytes/testes – phenotypic female w/o ovulation & menses and secondary sex characteristics
• Turner Syndrome – 45 X0 – increased oocyte loss streak ovary, short stature, webbed neck, renal & cardiac (coarctation of Ao) anomalies

• Mesonephric Remnants – epoophoron, paraophoron, Gartner’s cyst

Mullerian Development
• from clefts b/w mesonephros & gonads caudal & lateral to mesonephric ducts
• grow caudally and meet in midline at Mullerian tubercle (junction with sinovaginal bulbs)
• Stage 1 (wk 10) – medial aspects of caudal portions fuse (starting in middle & proceeding in both dir’ns) septum
• Stage 2 (wk 10-13) – rapid midline cell proliferation thick upper septum; lower portion on the median septum resorbed rostrally to caudally
• Stage 3 (wk 13-20) – degeneration of upper uterine septum

Vaginal Development
• from sinovaginal bulbs (outgrowth of urogenital sinus)
• cord canalization beginning at hymen and ending at cervix
• canalization ends at wk 21
![Page 19: By Ekaterina Tchmoutina R1 3/11/2015. Female Reproductive Tract Embryology XX – barr body (X inactivation), lack of SRY gene (development of ovary) Wollfian.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081506/56649eb75503460f94bc08b2/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Associated Abnormalities
• depends on timing of teratogenesis specific to stage of development
• uterine didelphys – after mesonephric development – no renal anomalies
• communicating uteri w/ atretic hemivagina or w/ hemicervix ipsilateral renal agenesis

Mullerian Fusion Abnormalities - 3
• Tx (goal to improve fertility)–Metroplasty – laparotomy wedge resection
of septum with uterine reaproximation– Hysteroscopic septal resection +/-
concurrent laparoscopy (avoids adhesions infertility)
– post op IUD for 30 ds +/- 1.25 mcg/day conjugated E
– evaluation for cervical competency in pregnancy

Ovarian Abnormalities
• Accessory Ovary– 1/93,000– excess tissue near and connected to normal ovary
• Supernumerary Ovary– 1/29,000– omentum, retroperitoneal– dermoid cysts
• Ovotestes– true hermaphrodite– testes – malignant transformation, closer to groin
remove at puberty– ovaries – gonadoblastoma, dysgerminoma
