Abstract
We suggest that a tortuous course of the intramural portion of the uterine tubes constitutes a normal anatomical finding. It controls the retrograde flow of blood during menstruation and limits the possibility of developing endometriosis. Straight or curved intramural portions represent an anatomical abnormality that may predispose women to endometriosis.
