The Prevalence of Müllerian Anomalies in Women with a Diagnosed Renal Anomaly.

TL;DR: The results suggest the need for a prospective study to determine evidence-based guidelines for screening for MA among patients diagnosed with any RA to avoid complications from an unrecognized MA.

Congenital anomalies causing hemato/hydrocolpos: imaging findings, treatments, and outcomes.

Abstract: Hemato/hydrocolpos due to congenital urogenital anomalies are rare conditions discovered in neonatal, infant, and adolescent girls. Diagnosis is often missed or delayed owing to its rare incidence and nonspecific symptoms. If early correct diagnosis and treatment cannot be performed, late complications such as tubal adhesion, pelvic endometriosis, and infertility may develop. Congenital urogenital anomalies causing hemato/hydrocolpos are mainly of four types: imperforate hymen, distal vaginal agenesis, transverse vaginal septum, and obstructed hemivagina and ipsilateral renal anomaly, and clinicians should have adequate knowledge about these anomalies. This article aimed to review the diagnosis and treatment of these urogenital anomalies by describing embryology, clinical presentation, imaging findings, surgical management, and postoperative outcomes.

A Retrospective Analysis of Female Müllerian Duct Anomalies in Association With Congenital Renal Abnormalities.

TL;DR: In this paper, the prevalence of the co-occurrence of congenital renal abnormalities in women with Mullerian (paramesonephric) duct anomalies (MDAs) was found to be associated with several coexisting congenital abnormalities, including renal abnormalities.

Obstructed hemivagina and ipsilateral renal anomaly (OHVIRA) syndrome: management and follow-up.

TL;DR: Most patients with OHVIRA syndrome can be treated solely with single-stage vaginoplasty, and routine laparoscopy is not essential to management.

The history of female genital tract malformation classifications and proposal of an updated system

TL;DR: Accepting the need for a new classification system of genitourinary malformations that considers the experience gained from the application of the current classification systems, the aetiopathogenesis and that also suggests the appropriate treatment, a systematic review of relevant articles found in PubMed, Scopus, Scirus and ISI webknowledge suggested an embryological-clinical classification system seems to be the most appropriate.

Embryological observations on the female genital tract.

TL;DR: The hypothesis is advanced that the vagina is an organ embryologically derived from the mesonephric or Wolffian ducts in addition to the Müllerian tubercle, and a new embryological classification of female genital malformations is proposed.

Didelphic uterus and obstructed hemivagina with renal agenesis: case report and review of the literature.

TL;DR: Eight cases of uterus didelphys with obstructed hemivagina referred to the Gynecology service at Baylor College of Medicine over a 2-year period were reviewed, demonstrating the difficulty in diagnosis, heterogeneity in presentation, and need for expertise in this rare congenital anomaly.
