Abstract

A 12-year-old female with a prenatal diagnosis of left kidney agenesis was hospitalized with a history of four months of recurrent abdominal pain and dysmenorrhea after menarche. Imaging investigation revealed a gynecological malformation associated with Müllerian developmental defects – duplicated uterus with an obstructed left hemi-uterus filled with hematic content (haematometra), one cervix and a normal vagina. We pretend to alert pediatric physicians about the association of renal agenesis and gynecological malformations, most frequently uterine, but also vaginal. Early detection of these malformations by imaging will anticipate therapeutic measures to relieve symptoms, mostly recurrent abdominal or pelvic pain, and to avoid complications such as endometriosis, pelvic adherences and infections.
