Few of them are associated with adverse obstetric outcome (Reyes-Mu\u00f1oz et al.<\/jats:italic> in Diagnostics. 2019;9:4. https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/diagnostics9040149<\/jats:ext-link>). Genital outflow tract obstructive uterine anomalies invariably present in the adolescent age group.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n Case details<\/jats:title>\n We report a case series of uterine anomalies. Ten such cases presented like a \u201ccluster\u201d within a short span of just one\u00a0month. Eight of these ten cases were diagnosed intraoperatively during cesarean section. One case was diagnosed during laparoscopic sterilization, and the other case was diagnosed before doing manual vacuum aspiration. There were four cases of bicornuate uterus, two cases each of unicornuate uterus and uterine didelphys, and one case each of septate uterus and arcuate uterus. All eight babies were healthy and without any obvious congenital anomalies. To the best of the authors\u2019 knowledge, literature regarding these anomalies has been mentioned mostly as case reports (Bruand et al.<\/jats:italic> in Cureus. 2020;12:3. https:\/\/doi.org\/10.7759\/cureus.7191<\/jats:ext-link>) and a few case series (Ross et al.<\/jats:italic> in BMJ Case Rep. 2018. https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1136\/bcr-2017-221815<\/jats:ext-link>). All women were of Kannadiga ethnicity and in the age range of 19\u201335 years. They were from places nearby to our institute within a range of approximately 250\u00a0km.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n We describe herein almost all types of uterine anomalies. These rare uterine anomalies presented in a short span of just four weeks like a \u201ccluster\u201d. This incidental finding is unusual. We need to design studies to understand the reasons for clustering of such cases in our clinical practice.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/s13256-022-03362-2","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,4,1]],"date-time":"2022-04-01T23:03:19Z","timestamp":1648854199000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["A \u201ccluster\u201d of ten uterine anomalies observed in a single center over a short period of 4\u00a0weeks: a case series"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"16","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2150-8359","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yogindrakumar M.","family":"Kabadi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Abirami","family":"Ayyanar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,4,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"3362_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"4","DOI":"10.3390\/diagnostics9040149","volume":"9","author":"E Reyes-Mu\u00f1oz","year":"2019","unstructured":"Reyes-Mu\u00f1oz E, Vitale SG, Alvarado-Rosales D, et al.
