UTERUS DIDELPHYS, OBSTRUCTED HEMIVAGINA AND IPSILATERAL RENAL AGENESIS, 2-CASE REPORT.
Abstract
Two female teenagers with progressive dysmenorrhea were sent to tertiary care unit for further management of the pelvic masses which erroneously given preliminary diagnosis to be endometriotic disease and pelvic abscess. Following thoroughly review of clinical data and imaging studies, the patients showed to have double uterus, obstructed hemivigina and absent right kidney. The pelvic mass, thus, represented hematocolpos and hematometra. Resected vaginal septum is the treatment of choice and should be performed earlier, to prevent gynaecologic complications and improve reproductive outcome. Non invasive imaging techniques may have the important roles in the diagnosis of intrapelvic mass in female adolescence with absent kidney which could be the consequence of developmental uterine anomalies.
