Objective:
To present a case of solitary pelvic kidney with congenital absence of the vagina.
Methods:
A patient with solitary pelvic kidney and vaginal aplasia is described. Patient evaluation included hematological, hormonal, cytogenetic, laparoscopic and imaging studies.
Results:
Blood, hormone and cytogenetic studies were normal. Laparoscopy showed absence of the uterus and both tubes and ovaries, which was confirmed by pneumopyelography. IVP showed absence of renal shadows and a solitary pelvic kidney.
Conclusions:
Congenital absence of the vagina should be suspected in a patient with a pelvic solitary kidney consulting for primary amenorrhea.
