- Abstract
The plicae palmatae is a developmental remnant of the Müllerian ductal fusion, which is demonstrated as a ridge of low intensity in the cervical canal on axial T2-weighted MR images. The identification of the plicae palmatae on MR imaging is beneficial for avoiding misinterpretation of this finding as anomalous uterine septum. The current study is performed to investigate the frequency of this finding and its variation among different age groups.
