A subseptate uterus is a mild form congenital uterine anomaly (often considered as a normal variant) where there is a presence of a partial septum within the uterus not extending to the cervix and with the central point of the septum at an acute (<90°) angle. The external uterine contour is uniformly convex or has an indentation < 10 mm 1.
Differential diagnosis
If the septum extends fully into the cervix then this is a septate uterus.
