  • 1. Kangbuk Samsung Hospital, Seoul (Korea, Republic of)

Description

Uterine didelphys is a congenital malformation characterized by the presence of two separated hemiuteri and hemivaginas, due to lack of midfusion of the mullerian ducts. We report a case of UD-BHRA (uterine didelphys with blind hemivagina and ipsilateral renal agencies), a rare type of uterine dedelphys characterized by symptomatic unilateral hematocolpos due to blind hemivagina after menarche and ipsilateral renal agenesis. The MRI findings in 22-year-old woman with bilateral ovarian tumors demonstrated two separated uterine horns and cervical and vaginal canals, with left hematocolpos and left agenesis.
