Week 7: Mullerian compartment structures originate from the Mullerian ducts, which arise as evaginations of the mesoderm lateral to the mesonephric ducts during the 7th week of gestation and gradually fuse medially; Week 11: Mesonephric ducts regress in the female; Week 20 and adult: The Mullerian compartment may be sub-divided in three sub-compartments. The ovaries, ovarian ligament, fimbriae, and distal vagina do not derive from the paramesonephric-mesonephric-Mullerian tubercle complex and are therefore not part of it. The lower Mullerian sub-compartment is sub-peritoneal [1, 8, 32]
