Overview
The incidence of unilateral renal agenesis ascertained atautopsy averages between 1/600 1/1,200.Concomitant genital anomalies are very common.
In males, anomalies of the genital tract are less frequentand functionally less striking, the most common beingcryptorchidism .
In females, the incidence of associated genitalanomalies has been conservatively estimated as 50%. Inmost women, the genital anomaly consists of somedegree of duplication of the uterus, cervix, and/or vagina,and less commonly some form of partial

Embryology
Duplication of the female reproductive
tract results from a lack of fusion of the
paired mullenian ducts which appear atthe sixth week of embryonic development.
The mullenian ducts develop just lateral to
the mesonephnic (urinary) ducts, which
have been postulated to act as a guide tothe growth of the mullenian ducts

Case 1
This young female patient presented with
primary amenorrhoea and abdominal mass.
Ultrasound images reveal hypoechoic contents
s/o fluid distending the uterus and vagina. Fineparticulate debris is seen within the fluid (blood).
These findings suggest vaginal outflow
obstruction due to imperforate hymen. Nearly
800 ml. of blood was drained during surgery onthis patient.

Case 2
14-year-old girl presented to hospital's
emergency department with a complaint of lower
abdominal pain.
Her history included an emergency departmentvisit 25 days earlier for a urinary tract infection
and an ongoing workup for a large right-sided
adnexal mass by a private practice gynecologist.
She described her pain as "on and off" for2
months and as increasing in severity

Transabdominal sonogram (transverse view) shows large well-defined
mass, which was later identified as markedly distended uterus.

Hematometrocolpos in 14-year-old girl who presented with lower

Axial CT image through uterine corpus shows incomplete longitudinal
septum of bicornuate uterus. Examination under anesthesia revealed
imperforate hymen. Hymenotomy was performed, yielding
approximately 500 mL of coagulated blood. Repeat pelvic sonography
on the first postoperative day revealed a bicornuate uterus

Obstructed hymen. Sagittal T1-weighted spin-echo image (500/8)
shows a dilated hematometrocolpos. The obstruction is at the level of
perineum (arrow).

The main differential diagnosis is that of aGartners cyst on mesonephnic duct remnant.Gartners cysts occur anywhere between thehymen and the ovary along the vagina and uterinewalls or the broad ligament. They represent anincomplete normal resorption of the mesonephnicduct in the female and may communicate with thevagina or uterus at any level.
Gartners cysts are lined with a single layer ofcuboidal epithelium, while vaginal duplicationshave a stratified squamous epithelial lining.Gartners cysts do not attain the size of a
hematocolpos and do not contain blood.Ipsilateral renal agenesis may also occur withGartners duct cysts
