Methods: Data of 409 female patients' magnetic resonance images were evaluated. Results: We found a frequency of plicae palmatae variations in the study population of 44.5%. It was statistically most frequent in the fourth decade. The presence of plicae palmatae variations in the period after menopause was significantly lower than that during the reproductive period. Conclusions: Identification of plicae palmatae may be misdiagnosed as uterine septum and more awareness of this situation is required to prevent unnecessary surgery. (C) 2015 Elsevier Inc.
