[The role of MRI in congenital cystic lesions in the pelvis: a case of uterus didelphys with double vagina, hematocolpos, and ipsilateral renal agenesis.].

Abstract

We report a case of uterus didelphys with blind hemivagina and ipsilateral renal agenesis. This is an uncommon anomaly of the development of the Mullerian ducts in which a defect in one of the Wolffian ducts leads to failed induction in kidney formation and in the fusion of the Mullerian ducts. MRI plays a decisive role in the diagnosis and characterization of the malformation.
