Neonatal uterine morphology as seen on real-time US

AR Nussbaum, RC Sanders and MD Jones

The uterus in the neonate is prominent and readily identified on ultrasonography (US). The neonatal uterus is larger than the prepubertal uterus as a result of residual stimulation from maternal hormones. The uterus was visualized in 31 of 35 (89%) infant girls examined with real-time US. Mean uterine length was 3.4 cm. The majority of the uteri were tubular or spade-shaped, with the anteroposterior diameter of the cervix equal to or greater than the anteroposterior diameter of the fundus. The endometrial cavity was visualized in 30 (97%), a myometrial halo in nine (29%), and a small amount of endometrial fluid in seven (23%) of the uteri.
