Double uterus with an obstructed hemivagina and ipsilateral renal agenesis: report of 5 cases and a review of the literature
Abstract
Maldevelopment of the Müllerian duct system can result in various uterine, vaginal, and renal abnormalities. Complete or partial absence of Müllerian duct fusion and/or canalization results in a septate, bicornuate or didelphys uterus with various types of hemivaginal obstruction. In addition, unilateral renal agenesis is a common association. Five patients with uterine anomalies and an obstructed hemivagina are described according to the complete or incomplete obstruction between the double vagina and uterus. Early and accurate diagnosis is important, but difficult, due to the variable clinical pictures. Sonographic evaluation can provide valuable diagnostic information. Early diagnosis and excision of the obstructed vaginal septum can completely relieve the symptoms and prevent further sequelae.
