ABSTRACT
We present a case of a patient with Uterus bicornis bicollis, imperforate hemivagina and ipsilateral renal agenesis. This group of congenital malformations is often asymptomatic until puberty, when it presents as cyclic dysmenorrhoea, leucorrhoea or a pelvic mass. Magnetic resonance imaging is becoming the preferred modality for delineation of uterine malformations. When congenital abnormalities ofthe reproductive tract are encountered, a search should also be made for renal anomalies. Patients with Uterus bicornis bicollis and unilateral imperforate vagina are often seen with pain severe enough to mimic an acute abdomen. It is important to keep this unusual congenital malformation in mind in the differential diagnosis of vaginal discharge, pelvic mass and/or abdominopelvic pain in young women so as to avoid inappropriate surgical procedures.
RESUMEN
Presentamos el caso de una paciente con útero bicorne bicollis, hemivagina imperforada, y agenesia renal ipsilateral. Este grupo de malformaciones congénitas es a menudo asintomático hasta la pubertad, cuando se presenta en forma de dismenorrea cíclica, leucorrea, o una masa pélvica. La imagen por resonancia magnética se está convirtiendo en la modalidad preferida para delinear las malformaciones uterinas. Cuando se encuentran anormalidades del aparato reproductor, debe realizarse también una investigación en busca de anomalías renales. A los pacientes con útero bicorne bicollis y vagina imperforada se les ve a menudo con dolores suficientemente severos como para parecer un abdomen agudo. Es importante tener en mente esta inusual malformación congénita en el diagnóstico diferencial del flujo vaginal, la masa pélvica y/o el dolor pélvico-abdominal en las mujeres jóvenes, a fin de evitar procedimientos quirúrgicos inadecuados.
